Those realities -- at least, one person's view of them -- are the subject of The Africans, a series that has ignited PBS's latest brush fire of controversy. The nine-week survey of African culture, history and politics has drawn a sharp attack from Lynne Cheney, the Reagan-appointed chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, which supplied $600,000 of the program's $3.5 million budget.

Making what provision he could for his wife and six children, he went to Italy with a woman named Mamah Borthwick Cheney. They were never married. On their return in 1911, he put all he knew of architecture into the building of Taliesin as a new home for them both. Changes of this kind are ill-fated by ancient superstition, but few have met such a fate as Frank Lloyd Wright...
