Last week's coverage of the World Series by NBC was typical of the new dimensions that TV has added to the game. When Boston's Carl Yastrzemski was hit by a fast ball, Pitcher-Turned-Commentator Sandy Koufax told how and why he himself had deliberately thrown at batters, explaining that "it's dangerous but it's part of the game." In the last game, a split-screen showed Cardinal Lou Brock take a daring lead off first base, then dash for second-and a new series record for stolen bases. And when Julian Javier...

One Hollywood nudie producer, Ted Paramore, prides himself on dreaming up such come-on titles as The Girl with Hungry Eyes and Not Tonight, Henry.
