...AMERICAN CATHOLIC (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). The network's news cameras range far and wide, from an underground "action" Mass in Washington, D.C., to Oklahoma, where a group of former Benedictine nuns have transformed themselves into "Sisters for Christian Service," in this program delineating the new mood and trends of Catholicism in America. Bishop James Shannon of Minneapolis speaks for the church; other views are expressed by a variety of clergymen...
Widely planted under President Ferdinand Marcos' "Rice, Roads and Schoolhouses" program, improved IR8 has already helped make the Philippines a rice exporter for the first time in this century. In the paddies of India, Pakistan and Malaysia, farmers are sowing thousands of acres of IR8. Even the Indonesians have been persuaded to shuck their fears of divine indignation; last week they received 600 tons of harvested IR8 from the Philippines in the first international deal involving the new rice. The Filipinos have also been sending hundreds of tons of IR8 and IR5 seed to South Viet Nam. Much...
Center examines the Alsop record. Author Edward Engberg, a fellow of the Center for the Study of Democratic Institutions, quotes the columnist's consistently upbeat comments on the war.

Washington's National Airport is badly overcrowded, but passengers prefer its convenience to bigger but more distant Dulles or Friendship...
...answer to this will be tried by Los Angeles as part of a $500 million expansion program. The city's airport authority foresees satellite airports located no more than 150 miles from International Airport. Travelers would go to the satellites, be ferried by short-takeoff or vertical-takeoff planes to International to catch their longer flights to someplace else. Oakland Airport Manager Glenn A. Plymate has a more advanced idea. He thinks that industry should make such communications as telephone and television so sophisticated that businessmen could conduct nearly all of their business in the office and would hardly...
