At 32, dark-haired, fine-boned Actor O'Brian (real name: Hugh Krampe) looks like an Oklahoma Olivier. In his flowered vest, ruffled shirt, string tie and sideburns, and with two 16-in. Buntline Specials strapped to his thighs, he really cuts the mustard with the teen-age cow bunnies. An exmarine, he is easily the most ambitious of television's men on horseback. He looks pretty silly on a horse ("That boy," says...

Toward the tag end of winter, when the Oxford or Cambridge undergraduate has been sewn into the hair shirt of academic strictures for dismal months, he begins to itch. As Geoffrey Chaucer (Oxford or Cambridge, circa 1360, according to tradition) wrote about the approach of spring, "thanne longen folk to goon on pilgrimages." Last week at both universities, students were dreamily reviewing intricate plans for a modern form of the pilgrimage -the scholarly expedition.
