...split in the P.D.P. contributed to its defeat. Outgoing Governor Roberto Sánchez Vilella was Muñoz' handpicked successor but ran afoul of the old man -and much of the island's Roman Catholic population-when he divorced his wife of 31 years and married a younger woman.

This year NBC will offer Roberto Rossellini's impressions of Sicily, an original drama starring Paul Scofield, and shows headlined by Brigitte Bardot and Elvis Presley. CBS promises a study of the Galapagos Islands narrated by Britain's Prince Philip, a Royal Shakespeare Company production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, and another colloquy with Waterfront Philosopher Eric Hoffer. ABC will screen about 45 hours of the sum mer Olympics from Mexico, as well as a Truman...
