JACK PAAR IN AFRICA (NBC, 10-11 p.m.). Home movies (photographed mostly by Jack and his daughter Randy with 16-mm., hand-held cameras) record the Paar family's six-week visit to Uganda and Kenya, including a call on the Pygmies and a look at fierce Masai tribesmen at work as cowboys, outfitted in the traditional red blankets and not so traditional bowler hats...
...comforting to have so impassioned a lover as De Gaulle ready and willing to serve. But eleven years of calls to greatness are too much for a nation, or a woman. De Gaulle had even been warned.

Indeed, when Marlene Dietrich returned to Broadway for a six-week engagement, the only thing that was different from last year's show was the opening number, a torchy ballad called Look Me Over Closely. Not that anybody in the theater waits for her invitation...
