...PRIMATE. PBS. Thursday, Dec. 5, 10 p.m. E.S.T., is perhaps Wiseman's most important work. It differs from its predecessors in that his camera discovers no saving human grace among the employees of the Yerkes Primate Research Center in Atlanta. What he gives us -unfairly, according to Yerkes people -is a dismaying study of what he obviously believes to be idiot savants...
Marsh is in fact responsible for some far-reaching social commotion. Upstairs, Downstairs, the show she created with Actress Eileen Atkins, is in its fourth season on English TV and its second on PBS. It now has 50 million fans round the world.

With a persuasive manner that...
...Thursday. NBC's John Chancellor and Carl Stern (a law-school graduate) helped clarify Friday's complex procedural wrangles as the committee hammered out acceptable articles of impeachment. Sessions were not interrupted by commercials (a condition decreed by the House); interviews in the meeting room were forbidden. PBS conducted scholarly post-mortems on each session, drawing on outside experts and a battery of law professors...
