...Modern Mountain Man. "On clear days, Mount Rainier seems to rise in our front yard," boasts Phyllis Shreve, who lives with her husband Jerry and son Terry in a white frame house in the bucolic town of Kent, 16 miles south of Seattle. Jerry Shreve, 40, a native Kansan, came to Seattle at 18 to work for Boeing, where he is now a quality-control inspector. Off the job, his passions are growing roses, fishing (he ties his own flies), hunting elk and deer with a 52-lb. longbow or old-fashioned muzzle-loader...
...Mount Rainier, where Everest Climber Jim Whittaker took the members of his 1975 K-2 expedition for some pre-Himalayan conditioning. They can also try their skills on Yosemite's Rixon's pinnacle, a rock spire where an urban alpinist named George Willig developed the confidence that enabled him to conquer Manhattan's World Trade Center.

The 90-minute special airing May 22 is a melange of old movie clips, photographs, and interviews with Grace, 47, Prince Rainier, Alfred Hitchcock (who directed three of her films) and William Holden and James Stewart, two of her costars. Hostess and narrator of the show is Lee Grant. "Princess Grace is not a cardboard personality," insists Lee. "The public image of her sailing off into a glowing sunset to live happily ever...
...military Mass unwittingly scheduled on the anniversary of the Hiroshima bombing-so many Masses that the congress's congregations used 1,700,000 Communion wafers. Dave Brubeck and Ella Fitzgerald offered religious jazz, the Dance Theater of Harlem turned to religious choreography, and Monaco's Prince Rainier and Princess Grace addressed a "family life" conference...
