Wednesday, 8-8:30 p.m. E.D.T. People refer to Bill Moyers less often these days as "President Johnson's former press secretary." And for good reason. With his weekly Journal, now in its third year, he has established a more immediate identity: television's best regularly scheduled observer of the American scene.

Egypt's President Anwar Sadat, if not liked, is at least more respected than he was before...
...play relied originally on its satire of a Disraeli appointee to the Admiralty as its main attraction. In its time it was effective, as even Disraeli began to refer to the unfortunate man as "Pinafore Smith," but the elements of the play which have caused it to be produced by countless companies, colleges, and high schools lie in the comedy which was originally intended as a vehicle, not an end in itself...
