...RANGE WARS (PBS, Aug. 6, 9 p.m. on most stations). The usually mild- mannered National Audubon Society got into hot water with cattlemen (and the Ford Motor Co., which pulled its ads from an earlier showing on TBS) with this hourlong report on the dispute between environmentalists and ranchers over public grazing land in the American Southwest...

He also borrowed the Globe's choices for side-by-side comparisons of passages by Maitre and PBS film critic Michael Medved.

Both Bly and Keen are also spiritual disciples of Joseph Campbell (Keen and Campbell often conducted seminars together), and all three are linked to that great facilitator in the satellite-dotted sky Bill Moyers. Moyers has conducted PBS interviews with Campbell, Keen and Bly, giving each of their books a video assist onto the best-seller list. What Oprah is to books like Men Who Hate Women & the Women Who Love Them, Moyers is to intellectual fare like Campbell's Hero with a Thousand Faces...
