...NEWS (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). "Morley Safer's Viet Nam," a look at the land's many faces: the clamor of Saigon and the desolate boondocks; privileged ladies sipping tea with Madame Ky and women toiling in the paddyfields; men fighting in the jungle, girls bathing at the beach...

The bohemians, now as extinct as bimetalists and phrenologists, flourished in the 19th and early 20th centuries in a setting of red wine, turpentine, bawdy songs in beery baritones, long flowing skirts for the women, and a general clamor for free love, free thought and freeloading.

On the emotional plane, however, there is no doubt about who wins. The inmates set up a mad clamor for Marat's cause. Drooling, twitching, cross-eyed, filthy, they stagger about the stage like broken bugs. "We want our revolution," they croak in cracked chorus...
