...flattened in the heart of the city. At the city morgue hundreds of bodies lay in plastic sacks for long lines of friends and relatives to try to identify. "Is Caragiu there?" asked a middle-aged woman plaintively, looking for the remains of Rumania's best-known comedian, Toma Caragiu. It was believed that he had been at home reviewing a script with Film Director Alexandru Bocanet when the walls shuddered and crumbled...
...Julio was more educated than most of the villagers, and so he, and, by deference, the others, did not hesitate to welcome me as a visitor to their small town. "Hola, amigo, venga y toma con nosotros!" Come and drink with us! he cried and beckoned to the woman in the corner to bring me a glass and a pitcher of chicha. "Norteamericano, no?" he asked, looking knowingly at the men beside him, peasants who obviously felt a bit uncomfortable in my presence. I told them a little about my background, about my work in Cochabamba...
...advertisers, who prefer the lesser risk of wrapping their commercials around variations of a tried and true formula. Attempts to vary that formula have stretched as far as TV writers' imaginations can fetch.

The latter style was best exemplified by last week's The Blue Knight (NBC), a four-hour special strung out over four consecutive evenings. Based on the novel by the Los Angeles policeman and bestselling author, Joseph Wambaugh, it gave William Holden a solid TV dramatic debut as a patrolman who has been on the same beat for 20 years and decides to bail...
...story about two married lawyers with a Women's Lib touch, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, a sanitized TV version of the racy 1969 movie. Thursday night will be given over entirely to fast action, with Kung Fu and The Streets of San Francisco, two current series, and TOMA, which will star Tony Musante as a cop who "relies on his wits and imaginative disguises" to bring the varlets to justice. Every fourth week ABC will even give the viewer science fiction cops and robbers. In Cyborg, Lee Majors will play a test pilot whose body is rebuilt after...
