...Courtship of Eddie's Father is an instant rerun of Julia. Bill Bixby, the ersatz nephew of My Favorite Martian, plays the widowed parent, and an accomplished seven year old named Brandon Cruz is the son searching for a mom -any old mom. By happy circumstance, Brandon is far less objectionable than Diahann Carroll's TV offspring, and he even seems to like his father.

Soon after, Busch discovered that the soil at Newport News would not support...
...whom appeared to be of college age-identified themselves as members of SDS. Undergraduates who saw the group leaving the building, chanting "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh; NLF is going to win," said they recognized some of them as members of "Weatherman," a militant spin-off from the old New Left Caucus...
