...QUEEN AND I (CBS, 7:30-8 p.m.). A scheming purser (Larry Storch) meets his nemesis in Billy De Wolfe, who plays a first officer on the S.S. Amsterdam Queen, an ancient ocean liner steaming toward the scrap pile. Premiere...

The casings did not allow enough room for normal heat expansion of the 10-ft. rotor blades, and the engines were thrown out of balance. As a result, speeds had to be cut from...
