Family Ties (NBC, Wednesdays, 9:30-10 p.m. E.S.T.) offers two aging flower children (Meredith Baxter Birney, Michael Gross) raising a clan of three conformist offspring with wisdom derived less from Spock and Gesell than from Ozzie and Harriet. Gloria (CBS, Sundays, 8:30-9 p.m. E.S.T) brings back Sally Struthers from All in the Family and plunks her down in the sticks, with child, as an apprentice vet. Another show, The New Odd Couple (ABC, Fridays, 8:30-9 p.m. E.S.T.) has literally been here before. Oscar (Demond Wilson) and Felix (Ron Glass) are black this time around...
STILL, there are undeniable pleasures to a book like My Harvard. My Yale, especially for a current student at one of the two. Chief among them are the illuminating contrasts it provides: between two different experiences at the same university, and also between one campus and the other. Benjamin Spock (of Baby and Child Care fame) and Thomas Bergin, now a Yale Italian professor, both went to Yale in the class of '25, and both write vividly of being outcasts from a rock-ribbed social structure that bestowed status upon athletes and club-members alone.

"Don't ever say that you sent a letter, or went to a demonstration, and nothing happened. Keep it up," he counseled. "It will happen." Perhaps it will. But so far, apart from an unimpeachable opposition to nuclear war, the movement is far from determining just what "it" ought to be. -By Kurt Andersen...
There is nothing like a spot of action to cure the blahs, and luckily the Enterprise, now under Mr. Spock's command, is about to take off with a crew of cadets on a training mission, and Kirk decides to come along. Equally luckily, "the wrath of Khan" has been bottled up out there in the galaxy, steeping in its own malevolence, just waiting for someone to pull the cork. It happens that Khan, played by Ricardo Montalban, who appears delighted to send his dinner jacket to the cleaners and slip into something scruffy, blames Kirk...
