DIRECTIONS '66 (ABC, 1-1:30 p.m.). Kurd Hatfield in a biography of Trappist Monk and Author Thomas Merton...
Seduction & Brecht. No network has a monopoly on inventiveness. CBS's Look Up And Live recently presented a dramatization of Dostoevsky's The Idiot, narrated by Kurd Hatfield, and last summer had a three-part series on the changing role of modern women in church and society called The Evolution of Eve.

NBC's Frontiers of Faith will soon undertake a twelve-part series...

Like George Catlin's early sketches of the vanishing Indians or Thomas Moran's pioneer paintings of the Yellowstone, Kurd's testament of art is his way of lingering in an historic land that he must some day leave. It will linger, because Hurd sees beauty in a dust storm, challenge in the parched desert, and ghostly life in a crumbling shack, a broken fence the fragments...
