...SPAIN: A LOVE AFFAIR (ABC, 9-10 p.m.). Jason Robards Jr. narrates a documentary on the scenes and people celebrated in the works of Ernest Hemingway. Film crews return to the ruins of the village of Valsain, the Sierra de Guadarrama, and the cities of Madrid, Malaga, San Sebastian and Cuenca. The program includes readings by Rod Steiger and Estelle Parsons and performance by Antonio Ordoñez, the bullfighter immortalized in "The Dangerous Summer...
Parishioners at St. Aidan's Episcopal Church in San Francisco were probably surprised to find themselves celebrating the 150th birthday anniversary of Socialist Philosopher Karl Marx during a Sunday Communion service. But the Rt. Rev. James A. Pike, who officiated, found the idea easy to explain. Marx, figures Pike, who resigned as Bishop of California in 1966, would have several things in common with today's Christian church and vice versa. "Both Christianity and Communism have demythologized themselves eschatologically," the bishop said. "Christians no longer believe in a Second Coming, And the Communists have given up the theory...
...busily replaces its craftsmen with product-mongers who think only of mass audience and TV sales. Contemporary social phenomena, prevented from developing in peace, are instantly exploited by a Hollywood desperate to be the first on the marketing bandwagon.

...anything, Southern Cal's O.J. Simpson boasts even more dramatic statistics. Molded in the slums of San Francisco's Portrero Hill district, he was unheralded until he turned up at the City College of San Francisco, where in two years he scored a grand total of 54 touchdowns. He went to Southern Cal last year as a junior, and he wasted no time. In an awesome display of speed and power, O.J. led the country in rushing (with 1,415 yds. in 266 carries), scored both touchdowns in the Trojans' 14-3 victory over Indiana...
Safe from Quakes. An odd combination of economic forces lies behind the downtown rebirth. Transit-shy Angelenos rely almost entirely on autos to move around their 464-sq.-mi. city, whose boundaries could encompass the combined areas of St. Louis, Cleveland, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Boston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Manhattan. While the auto made it easy for Los Angeles to sprawl, earthquake fears made it difficult for the city to grow vertically. Until 1959, a local ordinance limited buildings to a height of 150 feet or 13 stories, whichever was lower. The results of improved structural-testing techniques finally persuaded...
