...DOCUMENTARIES OF TED YATES (NBC, 6:30-7:30 p.m.). A tribute to Ted Yates, NBC's outstanding TV reporter who was fatally wounded while covering the recent Arab-Israeli war. Chet Huntley narrates the films, showing Yates at work in San to Domingo and the Congo...
...contain a degree of rationality. His opposition to British entry into Europe, however motivated it may be by anti-Anglo-Saxon prejudice, makes a certain amount of sense because British entry would surely bring problems and perhaps dangers to the Common Market.
