...born actress who won an Oscar in West Side Story, and Bill Cosby, who after five seasons gave up Hollywood TV series to pursue a doctorate in education at the University of Massachusetts. Cosby is not unfamiliar with academic slow starters-in worse days he had to do a rerun of tenth grade. The second bananas are all first-rate, notably Judy Graubart, whose roles include Julia Grownup; Skip Hinnant, the Don Adams-style sleuth, Fargo North; Lee Chamberlin, as Rosalie the fortuneteller; and Morgan Freeman, the elongated Flip Wilson cast both as Easy Reader and a soul-sound disk...
...sketchiest of script outlines. Like an exceptionally thunderous overture, Phase I has startled an audience of some 200 million citizens into rapt attention, and set the mood for the performance to follow. Has it been the beginning of a Nixonian New Prosperity? Or of a rerun of the national tragedy of inflation and unemployment?

...would be no guarantee against trouble. The union is ripe for rebellion. Admirers of Joseph Yablonski, the assassinated U.M.W. official who lost a presidential race to Boyle in 1969, have maintained their dissident organization called Miners for Democracy.

His first production, the 1954 series Robin Hood, is still being rerun in Poland, Kuwait, New Zealand and many other countries. Over the years, he has sold more than 100,000 hours of programming to 104 countries-"everything but the weather forecast," he told TIME Correspondent Christopher Porterfield. Among his recent exports to the U.S. are the Tom Jones Show, Hamlet starring Richard Chamberlain...
During what should have been a routine Senate hearing on agriculture last week, Senator Hubert Humphrey found himself in the painful position of listening to George Wallace promise a rerun of 1968. While Humphrey stared grimly on, Wallace gave his most public declaration so far of his plans, noting that 1968 Democratic and American Independent Party candidates might "see each other again in 1972." Eugene McCarthy, the man who unhinged the Democratic Party in 1968, has made it clear to friends that he is ready to try again in '72, and a formal announcement is expected from him early...
