And because each section of Manhattan's power grid sucks as much power as a small city, the restoration of power in each neighborhood had to proceed slowly and carefully to avoid sudden overloads on the system. Earlier this month, when fire destroyed an electric cable in St. Louis, it took only eight hours to restore power to the 40-block downtown area...
President Jimmy Carter flashed a yellow light-proceed with caution-for the funding of a weapon that most U.S. military strategists consider necessary to avoid such a scenario.

The foils are provided by Kollberg (Sven Wollter) and Larsson (Thomas Hellberg), two handsome young cops who cordially and sarcastically detest each other, but who manage to wrap up the case in the end. One is wealthy and arrogant, the other working-class, bright...
