...computer model of S-L 9, that debris -- including boulders several hundred feet across -- has lagged behind the original 21 major fragments. These stragglers, they predict, will keep hitting Jupiter through September. Unlike the participants in last week's show, however, some of the later pieces may smash into the near side of the planet, giving astronomers a chance to watch some strikes directly. Is the theory plausible? Says Weaver: "These are the same guys who said the pieces were big and that the impacts would be huge. They were right, and lots of others were wrong...

But enough of these tele-visions will emulate the smash status of last year's The Fugitive or at least achieve the same modest earnings as The Beverly Hillbillies to give Hollywood what it wants most: a solid, safe return on its investment. Ask producer Alan Ladd Jr. about his low-budget (about $12 million) version of The Brady Bunch...
