DISCOVERY (ABC, 11:30 to noon). "Monsters of the Ocean Deep" takes a look at such aquatic creatures as the shark, the sting ray and the octopus, which do not always live up to their dangerous reputations...

Symbols burgeoned-Old Glory, the Liberty Bell, the bald eagle, Uncle Sam. Everyone memorized militant songs, such as Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean ("Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue").

Oceanographers may well map the ocean floor in the same way. And at frequencies between 1 and 10 megacycles, diagnostic holograms may some day chart not only tumors, but soft areas of the body-such as muscles, blood vessels and brain tissue-that can not be usually seen with standard X-ray techniques...
