The ordeal -Tombalbaye himself underwent it as an adolescent-is known to involve floggings, facial scarring, mock burials, drugging, and ingeniously gruesome tests of stamina, like crawling naked through a nest of termites. Tribesmen who have been raised in the bush do not always survive the ritual, which suggested that it is even more difficult for urbanized Chadians to endure.

Probably the most serious charge of vehicular homicide of the senses can be brought against The Manhunter (CBS, Wednesday, 10 p.m. E.S.T.).

Tunin is bent on assassinating Mussolini to avenge the death of a friend by Fascist henchmen. He sells his cow and goes off to learn from the anarchist Brighenti gang how to shoot a pistol. Waiting for the dictator's appearance at a public rally, he hides out in one of Rome's highclass bordellos, only to be thwarted when two whores fall in love with him and fail to wake...
