FIRST TUESDAY (NBC, 9-11 p.m.). Sander Vanocur is anchorman for NBC News's monthly TV Magazine. In the first issue: a report on Fidel Castro's attempts to export Cuban Communism to the rest of Latin America; a look at Hollywood Love Goddess Rita Hayworth at 50; a visit with Body-Building Expert Charles Atlas; a tour of the Sinai peninsula; and "Baton Twirlers," a feature that looks at the thousands of girls-and a few boys-who zealously practice baton twirling in the nation today...
