DARWIN (NET, 9-10 p.m.). One hundred and thirty-four years after the Beagle's original voyage to the Galapagos Islands, a Canadian Broadcasting Corp. crew follows Evolutionist Charles Darwin's route and discovers many of the same flora and fauna he found in this "living laboratory of evolution."

Scientists acknowledge the obvious difficulties and great costs of transporting large telescopes and other heavy equipment to the moon. To obviate the problem, Rand Corp. Researcher George Kocher suggests actually building a large mirror on the lunar surface, using quartz produced from silica?if it exists on the moon?and giving it a more accurate surface than terrestrial mirrors by shaping it with ion beams (which are effective only in a vacuum) instead of abrasives. Several astronomers have pointed out that round lunar craters lined with chicken wire would make ideal reflectors for radio telescopes similar...
This futuristic ballad sounds as though it were composed by a computer at the Rand Corp., but In the Year 2525 is the product of two country-pickin' guitarists from Lincoln, Neb., Denny Zager and Rick Evans, who a year ago were thinking about the future mostly in terms of the source of their next meal.

Morgan & Co. and 10% at Chase Manhattan and Chicago's Continental Illinois-the Treasury Secretary's old bank. More modest increases were posted by First National City (6%) and Bankers Trust (2%). Some of the smaller banks really soared. Manhattan's Marine Midland Grace increased earnings by 31% to $7.2 million...
