...Micronesia's most stalwart fighters against social erosion is Father Hugh F. Costigan. A former New York police department chaplain, Costigan directs the Ponape agriculture and trade school, an isolated 200-acre experimental farm reachable only by boat.

When not in class, teachers work on such projects as manufacturing coconut soap and designing miniature diesel tractors and other small farming equipment.

One suspects from the beginning of LOVE AMONG THE RUINS (ABC, Thursday, March 5, 9 p.m. E.D.T.) that Hepburn's amnesia is a ploy, that Writer James Costigan will find a way for old love to conquer all. But who cares? His nostalgic Edwardian romance is just a charming conceit designed to bring Hepburn, 65, and Olivier, 67, together. The director is Veteran George Cukor, 75, whose cutting and camera placements impart a subtle tension (and an air of elegant craftsmanship) above and beyond the call of television duty. Indeed, all three conspire to make Costigan...

...effective Americans in Micronesia. "If you want to get 500 out of every dollar, let the government do it," says one U.S. trust-territory officer. "If you want to wring $1.10 out of every dollar, let the missionaries do it." Best known of the missionaries is Father Hugh F. Costigan, who runs the Jesuits' Ponape Agricultural and Trade School, training 160 Micronesians at a time in such basic skills as mechanics, construction and animal husbandry. Another hard-driving missionary is the Rev. Edmund Kalau, a Lutheran and onetime Luftwaffe pilot (now a U.S. citizen), who is building a youth...
