VACATION PLAYHOUSE (CBS, 8:30-9 p.m.). Old pilots never die; they become a summer series. The first in this group of comedy pilot films-which did not make it as full-fledged shows-stars Ed Wynn and Ethel Waters in You're Only Young Twice...

Conductor Herbert von Karajan's slow, deliberate pace illuminates each stroke of genius in the score, but some listeners will find that he has sacrificed passion for clarity and restrained the anguish that Wagner's wild climaxes can evoke.

Each year, 160,000 U.S. men die from coronary-artery disease before the age of 70.

At his dwelling-the abandoned Hotel Ozone-the old lady enjoys one final, dreamlike dinner by candlelight. Then she dies, knowing that the race will die with her and with the girls she has overseen since their childhood. Her charges pack up to resume their wandering, and try to take the Gramophone with them. When the old man protests, they gun him down like an animal and resume their aimless journey. Director...
