With the Ivy League ban on fall varsity crew competition lifted, three varsity heavyweight fours and four varsity lightweight fours will compete for the Crimson. Eight-oared shells from Dunster, Quincy, and possibly Kirkland will race, also...

With the British-made suspense anthology Journey to the Unknown (Thursday, 9:30-10:30 p.m., E.D.T.), ABC escorted viewers on the weirdest-and most fascinating-excursion since the days of The Twilight Zone.
