...there seem to be more seasonal "specials" than regular shows on TV. But this Thursday (7:30 p.m., E.S.T.), CBS will carry a special that really is special. For one thing, the pro gram is unpretentious; for another, it is unprolonged (30 minutes). Finally, it represents the overdue TV debut of the comic strip Peanuts...
Died. Dame Myra Hess, 75, British concert pianist, who passed unnoticed when she made her debut amid the flamboyant virtuosos of the early 1900s, but later established herself as one of the leading musicians of her day, bringing graceful proportion and artistry to the works of Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms, during World War II earned the admiration of blitz-weary Londoners and the Order of Dame Commander for inaugurating a six-year series of noontime concerts in the National Gallery; of a heart attack; in London...

But not quickly enough. A black-market version of her debut was already selling briskly for $25. Artists, who naturally get no royalties from the piratings, are equally irritated. Mezzo-Soprano Regina Resnik, rummaging through a record bin a few years ago, was startled to hear a recording of Wagner's Ring cycle, whose label listed a cast of singers and an opera company...
