THEN CAME BRONSON (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). His motorcycle takes Jim Bronson (Michael Parks) across the U.S. His temporary job at a camp for disturbed children is the opening sequence, with Mark Lester, Jack Klugman and Karen Huston. Premiere...
...people live on the land, although an increasing number are finding work in the apparel factories and metalworking plants that are beginning to sprout in the lush countryside. Blacks comprise about 40% of the county's population, and to them and their white neighbors, Jim Crow is alive and well despite the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Negroes still sit in the balcony when they go to the movies in Carthage (pop. 2,442), the county seat, and use separate waiting rooms when they visit local white doctors. Earlier this month, three Negro women were beaten when...
...James Pike could walk no farther. "If we are going to die in the desert," Diane recalled telling him, "I will stay by you." The two napped; then Mrs. Pike decided after all to try to reach help.

The debtors still owe the F.D.I.C...
...disgust, a 4-3 loser. The following night Tom Seaver, 24, the husky, hard-throwing ace of the Met pitching staff, put on the most dazzling one-man show in Met history. He faced just 28 batters to achieve a 4-0 victory. Only a line single by Rookie Jim Quails in the ninth inning spoiled his bid for what would have been the eleventh perfect game since professional baseball began 100 years ago. Cub Manager Leo Durocher was roundly unimpressed. The next day, when the Mets committed two errors in one inning and went on to lose...
