...ball pulled into Pearl Harbor. The white dome, encasing the powerful military radar of which Fellows is in charge, was returning from a week at sea.

Sturm und Drang remained men's work. "I've been trying to sell a new Cagney & Lacey to the networks for 15 years," says Miller. "I've developed it five different times, but it's never gotten to the point of being shot as a pilot...
