Also in the room was a newspaper clipping about the President's schedule, which disclosed that Reagan would leave the White House at 1:45 p.m. to address a session of the AFL-ClO's building and construction trades department at the Washington Hilton.

Peter and Paul (CBS, April 12 and 14) covers the crucial three decades after the death of Jesus, when a Galilean fisherman solidified his authority over the church, and a Cilician Jew spread Christ's teachings throughout the Mediterranean world. Masada (ABC, April 5-8) begins a few years later and chronicles the last desperate stand, in a Judean fortress, of 960 Jews against the more than 10,000 soldiers and Jewish captives of the Roman Tenth Legion.
