Perhaps they reminded the author of his own emotional and cultural wrenchings. Wilson seems to think so. He writes that "even when they appear most impersonal, his political and imperial concepts spring from his own agonising sense of personal isolation."

The Akron, Ohio resident says he's looking to run the Marathon today in a time under...

Spencer's Pilots (CBS) records the adventures of two young pilots who work for an independent aviation company; against ABC's Donny and Marie and NBC's Sanford and Son, they may never get it off the ground. Baa Baa Black Sheep (NBC) expands the feats of scrappy Pappy Boyington, the celebrated World War II Marine Corps fighter pilot, in Dirty Dozen fashion...
