...REPORTS (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). "The Business of Religion." CBS Correspondent Charles Kuralt reports on the wealth of American churches enhanced by real estate holdings valued at $79.5 billion and by income from such varied sources as restaurants and a girdle factory. Religious leaders comment on the controversy about whether these holdings should be subject to disclosure and taxation...

...fact that Connie, the vocalist, who is also a girl, had the shortest hair of all, became the subject of nary a wry comment. Perceptive listeners also noted that she sang bass during the harmony while the males took over the higher octaves in falsetto. Rhythm guitar was played by a giant of a man with an Apostle's beard, hollow eyes, and a swollen voice. His guitar, slung low and hanging horizontal at fly level gave soul to his songs...
