...Trib has a fresh, modern look, and its newsroom is equipped with the latest in computer terminals, on which copy is fitted and transmitted to its New Jersey printing plant. The slim editorial staff of 77 includes two Pulitzer prizewinners, Managing Editor Fred Sparks and Art Critic Emily Genauer. With only a single bureau-one man in Washington -the new paper will rely heavily on United Press International and Reuters for national and international stories. Its resemblance to the old Herald Tribune is largely in name only, and even that is in dispute. The owners of the International Herald Tribune...

White plays Joyce Whitman, a veteran TV actress who stars in a fictional network cop show called Undercover Woman. Joyce's ex-husband, a self-described "cold fish" played with slimy charm by John Hillerman, is also her director, and for much of the first episode, the two ex-spouses rekindle their marital acrimony by trading insults on the Undercover Woman set. Occasionally-and gratuitously-Joyce's roommate (Georgia Engel, another MTM refugee) pops...
