ZERO HOUR (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). Zero Mostel in a one-man concert of singing, dancing and comedy...
Manchester seems to relish the lonely martyr's role and talks of himself as having been "in the arena" with his enemies. He insisted on making The Death of a President a one-man creation. From the workaday mechanics of transcribing his own tapes and shorthand notes to the responsibility of passing judgments on his own facts, he worked alone.

McDonnell refers to himself as "a practicing Scotsman," and in small ways he certainly is. He has been known to spend five hours going over the cost of Xerox copies of company documents. To inhibit gabby long-distance telephone calls, he gave his aides three-minute egg timers. Yet Missouri's largest employer spends lavishly...
