...economic summit meeting at the Chåteau de Rambouillet outside Paris fulfilled the modest expectations. The heads of government of the U.S., France, Britain, West Germany, Italy and Japan pledged greater cooperation in managing their increasingly interdependent economies and agreed to fight vigorously against "high unemployment, continuing inflation and serious energy problems" without so much as hinting at any specific measures by which these grand goals might be accomplished. The reaction of many observers, and some aides to the government chiefs, was summed up by London's Daily Express, which dubbed the gathering "NonEvent of the Year...
...loved one might care to cultivate. But such instructional experiences as a day's guitar lessons with Jose Feliciano ($14,500) found no takers. Obviously the price was too low or the gift too evanescent, so this year's catalogue is more hardware-oriented. A French "wine château," for example, is going begging for $875,000. Another tempting bauble is a 63-acre Caribbean island 25 miles south of Miami, priced at $2,250,000. The buyer may charge the island to his Sakowitz credit card...

Here again, there is no commentary, and heavy exchanges between clients and welfare workers are for your own Interpretation. Ch. 2; 9 p.m.; 2 hours, 50 min. Black and white...
...Still very tense and even a little scary in its implications. Rod Serling wrote the script based on the novel by Knebel Bailey. I think the real credit goes to Bailey; Serling just knows a good thing when he sees it and only occasionally when he writes it. Ch. 56, 8 p.m., 2 1/2 hours. Black and white...
