Midway in his soul-saving New York crusade, Evangelist Billy Graham will go on TV. This Saturday (8-9 p.m., E.D.T.) on the ABC network, straight from Madison Square Garden, a Graham meeting will be telecast for the first time in the U.S. Cost of the program: $300,000, underwritten by Billy's current campaign backers.

The evangelist of the mid-century set out last week...

The line has been echoing all season in Radio City and on Madison Avenue, in the top-level shoptalk about NBC's Saturday night Caesar's Hour, TV's best comedy show. TV bigwigs have not let their tribute to Caesar keep them from rendering unto the sponsor what is the sponsor's: the right to expect that so costly a show ($223,000 a week, including time charges) will pay off in a far bigger audience than its sagging ratings have reflected.
