...instrument of war; as long as war is a possibility, they say, all instruments must be developed or at least tested. There are differences with CBW, however. While the dispersal of some chemicals can be confined to limited areas, depending on weather conditions and the method of dispersal (from hand-held weapons to aerial sprays), the control of other agents, particularly biologicals, is likely to be so difficult that a vast majority of the victims would be noncombatants. Numerous chemical and biological weapons would probably be even more indiscriminate than nuclear bombs in destroying civilian populations. In addition, the ecological...
JACK PAAR IN AFRICA (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Home movies (photographed mostly by Jack and his daughter Randy with 16-mm., hand-held cameras) record the Paar family's six-week visit to Uganda and Kenya, including a call on the Pygmies and a look at fierce Masai tribesmen at work as cowboys, outfitted in the traditional red blankets and not so traditional bowler hats...

...before to determine whether or not I was asking too much of Steve; when I told him I'd had a fine time, and profited immeasurbaly from the experience with no visible scars, Steve reluctantly agreed to the low-level self-mutilation demanded of him. So, Johnny Hale shooting hand-held high-angle from an Adams House A-Frame, me on a second camera shooting close-ups, and a neighbor incessantly on the verge of passing out or throwing up, holding the lights, surrounded Steve at One A.M. on an April morning and began to shoot film...
