White House Speechwriter Patrick Buchanan said that legislation is needed "to break the power of the networks." Deputy Press Secretary Gerald Warren chided CBS and NBC for their handling of the latest story on the ITT antitrust case. On NBC'S Today, Son-in-Law David Eisenhower said that the "irresponsibility" of news reporting "has been matched by the irresponsibility of the people they may quote...
...NBC Correspondent Jim Hartz and an Israeli escort officer were filming an interview as their car traveled on the Golan Heights behind Israeli lines. Without warning, a shell hit near the road.

LOTSA LUCK. NBC. Monday, 8-8:30 p.m. E.D.T. Archie Bunker has spawned a whole blue-collar barrelful of hopeful imitators, but this one has scraped the bottom. In yet another American translation of an English television comedy, Dom DeLuise is a former bus driver who now mans his company's lost and found department.

...half million Americans, according to a National Broadcasting Co. survey, are lolling awake at home at 1 o'clock every morning. And what do they have to watch on television? Little more than faded black-and-white movies interrupted by supercharged hawkers of old cars. Last week NBC started offering something else: a network early early talk show that runs Monday through Thursday from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. E.D.T., immediately following the Tonight show and a few hours before the Today show. It is called (what else?) Tomorrow...
