Star Wars fans will recognize his touch in some fierce space battle scenes and seemingly three-dimensional images of stars and planets. Similar tricks were also used to move the various robots. Whereas Artoo Detoo was powered by a midget, Galactica's Muffit hides a chimpanzee, which Dykstra figured could more easily reproduce the unpredictable, jumpy actions of another animal, or robot animal. The formidable Lucifer, Count Baltar's aptly named robot assistant, however, does house a man. Since Actor Bobby Porter is only 4 ft. 11 in., the towering Lucifer has 18 unoccupied inches...

But CBS has its strongest lineup since Silverman left that network in 1975. It remains to be seen whether ABC'S new and untested programming chief, Anthony Thomopoulos...
...million was donated to U.S.T.A. coffers by CBS in exchange for rights to televise the tournament for three years. Flushing Meadow is glass and concrete modern, not Forest Hills grass and Tudor. Jets from nearby La Guardia Airport roar overhead. And that most crucial modern convenience - enough restroom space for thousands of tennis fans-is in ample supply...
