This Mumford & Wilcox story is about the impact on the 4077th of the visit, collapse, and death of boxer "Gentleman Joe" Cavanaugh (Pat McNamara, who played a Chairman on Soap).  And it's a good example of the type of late-run episode that fails to draw me in.  In fact, I was going to give it a C- or a C until Father Mulcahy's hero worship of Cavanaugh was explained.

Tierre Turner, who was Wally Carson on The Bob Newhart Show, is a Patient here.  Jay Gerber, who was a Poker Player on What's Happening!!, is a Reporter here.  Britt Leach, who'd recently done his middle of three Three's Company cameos as Chuck, here plays the Reporter Dan Blevik.  Marty Thomas makes his first of three appearances as a Soldier, while David Orr's first of two is as a Patient.  Kellye Nakahara (Yamato) and Jo Ann Thompson (Nurse Jo Ann) return.  This time Earl Boen plays Maj. Robert Hatch.
