Kids have already been an important political tool for Clinton, his path to the hearts of the suburban soccer moms who were crucial in 1996 and are likely to be again in 1998 and 2000.

Writers, spurred by Coe, paid little attention to TV's restrictions. They'd have characters flash back from old age to youth and back again (requiring split-second makeup applications) or dream up odd location scenes. Coe's own script, This Time Next Year, called for the ghost of Ulysses S. Grant to materialize at Grant's Tomb. The actor playing Grant was to jump into an NBC limo and get uptown in time for the "remote." But there was no limo. So the actor hailed a cab and, in full Grant regalia, ordered, "Take me to Grant's Tomb...
