...GOVERNOR AND J.J. (CBS, 9:30-10 p.m.). Dan Dailey is the former, Julie Sommars the latter, a zoo curator and proxy First Lady to Daddy. Middle-of-the-road politics and the ever popular generation gap promise predictable results. Premiere...
...haven't told you about how Harvard tears you apart, because that is the part that is difficult to tell. (See John Updike's short story "The Christian Roommates" in his collection The Music School or, on a once-removed level read John Berth's The End of the Road. ) Despite, or maybe because of, our spurious elitism, we are an insecure bunch.

When large rocks kept them from going farther, they tried in vain to turn the car around. Then, ignoring an old desert rule, they abandoned their vehicle to search for help. Two hours later, James Pike could walk no farther. "If we are going to die in the desert," Diane recalled telling him, "I will stay by you." The two napped; then Mrs. Pike...
