RANGO (ABC, 9-9:30 p.m.). The Lone Ranger reborn and played for laughs, with Tim Conway as a square Texas lawman and Guy Marks as his faithful Indian scout, Pink Cloud. In this episode, Rango is mistaken for an outlaw by a gang of cutthroats who promptly elect him their leader and take him on a series of holdups. Premi...
That leaves the Rangers-the worst team in the National Hockey League, a team that has not won the Stanley Cup since 1940. For years, a tailor named John Gerecitano has shown up at every Ranger home game dressed in a leopardskin hat and carrying a trombone; when the game gets beyond hope, he plays taps. Surprise.

After each section of the film was exposed, it was passed over a drum and pressed against a web treated with chemicals that developed it. After drying, the negative was scanned electronically, one narrow (one-tenth of an inch) strip at a time. Because each strip was electronically divided into 17,000 horizontal lines...
...Stunned by a crash landing that sheared the wings and tail from his Skyraider, Dengler stepped bleary-eyed into a world of muck, vines and violence that stood in odd contrast to his tidy, air-conditioned stateroom on the carrier Ranger. Abandoning his radio, .38-cal. pistol and dehydrated rations, Dengler ducked into the bush-but was jumped by Communist Pathet Lao guerrillas...
...irregulars of the Riff and Piff are an uncertain defense force. "You can't take a peasant out of a paddy, give him three weeks of training and expect him to be a red-hot soldier," says one U.S. officer. Nevertheless, supported by Vietnamese army, marine and ranger units, they stage an average of twelve major operations a month against V.C. elements on the outskirts of the city...
