...said John Lynch, Prime Minister of the Irish Republic, after two days of emergency talks with British Prime Minister Edward Heath. Held at Chequers, the country residence of Britain's Prime Ministers, the meetings dealt with the current civil strife in the British province of Northern Ireland.

Another noteworthy attempt by CBS at quality programming for youngsters...

The première half-hour was concerned mainly with the elaborate preparations necessary for setting up a color-camera magnifier in order to view underwater life on a giant video screen. Science could be exciting. Not, unfortunately, on this show...
