You would "improve" this Shangri-la by callously jamming 81/2 miles of superhighway through a wild section of Sequoia National Park, set aside for posterity in 1890, Then you would transform the tiny mountain valley into a parking lot and Disneyland extravaganza for crowd-loving socialites. This is a great cure for Mineral King's special quiet charm, which had until now miraculously escaped being ruined by "developers."

The Generation Gap from David Susskind's Talent Associates, pits a team of three teen-agers against a trio of adults. The kids, it turned out, could not identify Eddie Cantor or the FCC. The fogeys didn...
