PRUDENTIAL'S ON STAGE (NBC, 8:30-10 p.m.). Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Paul Scofield, Anna Calder-Marshall and Sir Laurence Olivier star in the Emmy-winning "Male of the Species." Repeat...

Hitler had just received a telegram from Stalin agreeing to the nonaggression pact that set the stage for the invasion of Poland nine days later. An unusual polar light flooded the sky and, Speer writes, "the final act of the Götterdämmerung could not have been staged with greater effect. All our faces and hands cast off an unnatural red glow.

Even more difficult is the task of determining the chemical identity of the isolated substance. Once that is done, it must be tested in animals to find out whether its germ-killing powers outweigh whatever undesirable side effects it may have. If the compound proves both safe and effective enough to be tested in man, the laboratory chemists will face the task of either synthesizing it or using the natural product as the base for a semisynthetic drug...
