...luster was his incredible omnipotence; Kojak simply never made a mistake. He might be wrong for 59 minutes but in the last minute of the show he'd figure out everything. Never wrong, never out-foxed. Not even by the upper-crust criminals wearing Pierre Cardin suits who would sneer at the deductive efforts of the clod named Kojak. Until it was too late. And at the end, Kojak would permit himself a grim "gotcha" as the inevitable police dragnet closed in, even reaching to the hallowed environs of Central Park West...
