...Middle East, Carter dispatched a new team of military experts, as a follow-up for an earlier group, to take a detailed second look at airfields and ports that might be used by U.S. troops during an emergency. Meanwhile, the President's special envoy for the Middle East, Sol Linowitz, prepared to depart for that troubled region this week to meet with the area's leaders...

This latest variation comes complete with a chorus line of Aggie football jocks bursting at the seams, an investigative reporter mildly reminiscent of the Rev. Billy Sol Hargas (Say Hallelujah!), and a tap-dancing guv'nah who says things like "the Jews and the A-rabs should settle matters in a Christian fashion" and "the real cause of unemployment, it's the people out of work."
