Finally a warning. ABC has a mini-series of Irwin Shaw's RICH MAN, POOR MAN (Monday, 10 p.m. E.S.T.) that makes Beacon Hill look like the later Henry James. Vulgar in characterization, tacky in execution, yet earnestly convinced that it is offering a panorama of postwar American life, it does not even give viewers the consolation of being unintentionally funny. The only hope is to draw a team from the cast and enter it in Almost Anything Goes. It would be a socko-and merciful-finish for both shows...
Balthazar's good works have not gone unnoticed. A few months ago, his alma mater, Loyola University School of Medicine, gave him its esteemed Stritch Medal (previous winners include Heart Transplanter Christiaan Barnard and Astronaut-Physician Joseph Kerwin).

Be that as it may, the networks are expected to try to buy back this audience - and ratings leadership - with late-season specials and hit theatrical movies. CBS throws That's Entertainment!, surefire nostalgia fare, into the Beacon Hill breach on Nov. 18. Meantime, the permanently disaffected will be found over at the independent channels, gnarled fingers twiddling the dial in hopes of glimpsing Matt Dillon, Chief Ironsides and the rest of that old gang of theirs. On the whole it is a slightly better deal than being...
