Grand Scheme. The high sheen on Sun was due largely to one man, Hollywood's Oscar-winning Producer-Director Frank Capra, 58, who spent four years making the show. "It was a labor of love," he says.

There, in the mid-'30s he took part in a survey of high-school principals around Rutherford, found them agreed that too many of their students were missing out on a college education either because they could not afford to go to a campus away from home or because they could not get the training they wanted. In 1941 Sammartino and a group of the principals began discussing plans...
