No. Had CBS ordered the firing of Manager Yogi Berra when it bought control of the New York Yankees? No. Did CBS intend to enclose Yankee Stadium with a dome similar to Houston's new Astrodome?

When a leopard set out to stalk a wildebeest in a recent episode, the victim all too surely was brought to earth. "If you are going to show the truth," said Kingdom's Producer Don Meier, "you cannot avoid the proposition that tooth-and-claw battles take place every day in the wild kingdom.
