Carol Burnett, 29, who last week shared the podium with Julie Andrews in a TV special called Julie and Carol at Carnegie Hall, has a warmth that neither coaxial cable nor gloom of darkened living room can dim.

An article on Red China, for example, traces the Communist conquest all the way back to Sun Yat-sen - a non-Communist revolutionary who toppled the 268-year Manchu dynasty in 1911. Caesar's Roman legions tramp through a lengthy examination of the U.S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command. The antecedents of Samos. the U.S.'s TV spy satellite, are tracked back across 100 years, when a balloon-borne camera produced an aerial view of Boston...
