A pertinent, well handled drama on sex education in school, as hero Slattery stands up to defend a suspended school teacher. Besides the interest in the subject matter, there's sufficient fireworks between Slattery and a no nonsense parent who happens to be a Board of Education member, to hold your attention throughout. "National Velvet's" Lori Martin plays a featured role.

A reporter is on the hook for a bribe story in a fairly Interesting entry. According to custom, the newsman refuses to name his source and takes quite a shellacking in the process. Good arguments crop up on both sides, something this series handles very neatly.

Good drama, and an interesting behind-the-scenes look at political parties attempting to discipline their legislative members. A new lady Representative goes after Slattery's hide and almost sheds him of his power. Slattery shows a new toughness in this one and guest star Vera Miles plays the bitter, clever woman with finesse.
