...GOVERNOR AND J.J. (CBS, 9:30-10 p.m.). Dan Dailey is the former, Julie Sommars the latter, a zoo curator and proxy First Lady to Daddy. Middle-of-the-road politics and the ever popular generation gap promise predictable results. Premiere...

So said former Postmaster General and Ambassador to Poland John Gronouski, eager to declare his independence but knowing to whom he owed his appointment as dean of the University of Texas' Lyndon Baines Johnson School of Public Affairs. Delighted with the job, Gronouski said that he hopes Barry Goldwater, "some of Nixon's people" and even old Great Society gadfly William Fulbright will join...
