FAMILY AFFAIR (CBS, 9:30-10 p.m.). A globe-trotting bachelor (Brian Keith) and his urbane valet (Sebastian Cabot) become unprepared parents to the bachelor's orphaned twin nieces and nephew...
...finished reading about the frustrations and inconveniences visited upon the poor students facing the draft [June 3], I received the news of the death in Viet Nam of my nephew, Lance Corporal Philip Dorn of the Marines. No one had to twist his arm to get him to go and help out in the job he knew had to be done.

Shrugged the lanky (6' 6") bachelor: "I shook a lot of hands...
This cruelly candid self-assessment appears in the remembrance of his nephew Robin, who is himself a novelist (The Servant, The Slaves of Timbuktu). And although the effect is morbid, it is by far the best part of the book, which is otherwise devoted to a soporific account of the family genealogy. Death watches can be questioned on grounds of taste, but it is certainly true that Willie Maugham did not die well...
