...SEVENTIES (NBC, 8:30-1 1 p.m.). The problems of today (race, environment, hunger, overpopulation) and the concerns of the future (sexual permissiveness, space, today's youth grown up) are given serious consideration by twelve top news commentators, including John Chancellor, Chet Huntley, David Brinkley, Edwin Newman, Barbara Walters, Elie Abel, Aline Saarinen. Actor Paul Newman is the viewer's guide through the thicket of subjects...

Edmund Spenser should perhaps have been flogged for anticipating the TVese use of host as a transitive verb. Since advise in the sense of "notify" is business and Army English, Willa Gather and Sir Richard Steele must have been members...
