...STAGE 67 (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). "Trilogy: The American Boy," three short films that capture the precarious moments of youth entering manhood. Skaterdater, an 18-minute Cannes Film Festival Grand Prize winner, careens along on a skateboard; The River Boy and Reflections move the viewer from a Louisiana bayou boyhood to life in New York City...
...Jackson, a federal grand jury charged 19 men, including Neshoba County Sheriff Lawrence Rainey and his chief deputy, Cecil Price, with conspiring to violate the civil rights of the three young civil rights workers-Andrew Goodman, 20, Michael Schwerner, 24, and James Chancy, 21, who were shot dead near Philadelphia, Miss., in 1964.

As the paper planes swooped...
Died. Roy Roberts, 79, grand old man of plainspoken journalism, who in 56 years held every job on the Kansas City Star from reporter to president, a rumpled, cigar-chomping extrovert who made his paper "the hair shirt of the community," mixing enthusiastic local coverage with a passion for national politics, promoted Alf Landon in 1936, backed Dewey, Willkie, Ike and Nixon, but supported Lyndon Johnson in 1964, putting the Star on the side of a Democratic presidential candidate for the first time in 80 years, then retired because of poor health and predicted, "I'll have the biggest...
