...networks may not earn the blessing of God as Easter and Passover approach, but they surely do turn righteous. Ever since Franco Zeffirelli's 6½-hour Jesus of Nazareth pulled big ratings four years ago, viewers have received annual lessons in Bible history and spiritual uplift, and have responded with the eager docility of A students in Sunday school. This year's entries in the Sanctity Sweepstakes focus on the struggle between warriors of the Word and the scheming princes of the Roman Empire. Peter and Paul (CBS, April 12 and 14) covers the crucial three decades...

Last year the aquamen finished 106 points ahead of the second place Tigers, and their winning total of 506 was the highest ever amassed at an Easter Championships--higher even than the totals of the Yale squads of the early '60s that included Olympic triple gold medal winners Don Schollander and Steve Clark...

...type most esteemed by the President is brand-named Jelly Belly, which -addicts vow-is to the ordinary jelly bean what foie gras is to liverwurst. About one-fourth the size of the Easter-basket staple and three times as expensive (up to $4 per lb.), Bellys come in an array of 36 flavors. Their manufacturer, Herman Goelitz Co. of Oakland, maintains that the flavors are so delicate that the beans should be eaten one at a time, not by the vulgar handful. How else to appreciate the richness of the coffee mocha, the tang...
