Program Director Victor Wheatman said that the board's action, coming after it had overruled a personal decision made by him, constituted an "erosion" of his authority, and he left the station last Friday...
TIME's criticism of Victor Lasky's It Didn't Start with Watergate [Sept. 12] is unjustified and completely ignores the author's premise.

There's also a politically ambitious mayor (Richard Paul) who looks like Bert Lance and, in the opening episode, an off-screen visit by the President himself...
