Television news clips of Japanese Emperor Hirohito's arrival at Honolulu International Airport last week probably left many viewers across the U.S. wondering momentarily whether they had heard the anchor man right. Was it Hawaii, the final leg of the Emperor's U.S. tour-or was the royal couple back in Tokyo?

Only that kind of Fact...
DOCTORS' HOSPITAL (NBC, Wednesday, 9 p.m. E.D.T.) has George Peppard as Ben Casey redivivus-another resident neurosurgeon who sprinkles ground-up interns on his crunchy granola for breakfast, gnaws on the leg of a hospital administrator at lunch and fries incompetent colleagues for dinner. Hospital-show scripts are as predictable as hospital menus-and bear precisely the same relationship to real drama as institutional food does to haute cuisine...
