...lawyer who explains how to file for divorce. Last year, as an added touch of realism, Allen brought in a recent-and embittered -divorcee to talk about financial problems. "She really gave the kids a jolt," he says. Toward the end of the course, the couple must spin a "wheel of misfortune" that lists nine possible catastrophes (for example, the breadwinner is fired, the mother-in-law moves in or part of the house burns), all of which lead eventually to divorce...

Even 20-game Winner Luis Tiant could not halt a losing streak that dropped the Red Sox into second place late last week. While Boston has been losing, New York and Baltimore have been winning.

Some frantic trading eventually paid off, though, and the erratic Bombers began to wring winning performances out of an assortment of new arrivals...
Three lady cops will also join TV's criminal chase. The heroine of ABC'S Get Christie Love! (Teresa Graves) gets her man by sassily flouting the orders of her boss-and flaunting the best legs on the force. NBC's Police Woman (Angie Dickinson), a spin-off from Police Story, is only a sergeant. But Amy Prentiss (Jessica Walter), a rib out of NBC's venerable Ironside, is a chief of detectives in command of 260 (male) officers...
