Last week on a dry lake bed at California's Edwards Air Force Base, Hollywood Stunt Man Stan Barrett, 36, drove a car at 739.666 m.p.h. to become the first person ever to break the sound barrier on land. Barrett's car will not be in showrooms quite yet. The three-wheel vehicle was powered by a rocket engine as well as a Sidewinder missile to throw it into supersonic...

...that point, as Brooks phrases it, "the inmates took over the asylum." Tinker, the perfect boss, gave his writers nearly total freedom, and the result was not only The MTM Show, but eventually Rhoda and the Lou Grant show. Brooks, Weinberger and a fellow writer-producer, Stan Daniels, went their own amicable way in 1977 and formed the partnership that has produced The Associates and Taxi. If The Associates survives its early low ratings, Brooks' income will rise faster than the price of gold...

...proof can be found in this series about a staid Wall Street law firm; it is the latest triumph from James L. Brooks, Stan Daniels and Ed Weinberger, veterans of Taxi and The Mary Tyler Moore Show. In the new show, these writers have again loaded a simple sitcom premise with a wide variety of well-drawn (and exceptionally well cast) characters, sophisticated jokes and astute social observations.
