FIRST TUESDAY (NBC, 9-11 p.m.). The so-called TV magazine features a portrait of former Alabama Governor George C. Wallace, a look at the contemplative life at Poor Clare Monastery in Omaha, Neb., and American rule in Okinawa...

Besides, more humane violence at this late stage of the game is a waste of effort...
