THURSDAY NIGHT MOVIE (CBS, 9-11 p.m.). Out at her beach house, a free soul (Elizabeth Taylor) enchants a minister headmaster (Richard Burton), and causes his wife (Eva Marie Saint) a lot of grief in The Sandpiper...

It has always been more real than Yale. It has always had more purpose than Princeton. That school is the soul of our city."
