PRUDENTIAL'S ON STAGE (NBC, 9-10 p.m.).* Barry Sullivan and E. G. Marshall star in "This Town Will Never Be the Same," which chronicles the last day in the life of a newspaper and the effect its death will have on its staff and the town...
...time, not posturing or parading, but embracing the "normalcy" of those middle-class Americans who voted for him. His priorities read neatly-Viet Nam, inflation and crime. Billy Graham's spirituality pervades, the humor is genteel, and the thoughts drape sensibly, like Pat Nixon's wardrobe. The effect in Oklahoma and Colorado and Iowa, if not in the ghettos, is to stimulate faith. Nixon's memorized facts of national life are delivered with an easy candor over television.

They also cramp people in space; echo people's forms (often to savegely ironic effect--the statue in Volski's garden next to which Fyodor stands looking up at Olga); and in these ways subtly influence and define people's appearances and actions. Here, however, the influence is one-way. People cannot change objects as they can change other people; objects resemble in order to mirror...
