...Arrest and Trial (ABC, 8:30-10 p.m.). A new 90-minute format gives Ben Gazzara, detective, 45 minutes to catch the crook, and gives Chuck Conners, defense mouthpiece, 45 minutes to get him off. Anthony Franciosa stars as the crook in the first episode...

In the city's crowded marketplace and near Saigon University, rifle-toting combat police in camouflage uniforms arrested all youths of high school and college age in sight and hauled them off to detention camps on the outskirts.

A month after his arrest, Goldreich apparently got hold of cell-block keys, possibly with inside help, and freed three fellow prisoners-two anti-apartheid Asians, and a Jewish lawyer, Harold Wolpe, longtime defender of imprisoned leftists...
