SUNDAY NIGHT MOVIE (ABC, 8-10:45 p.m.). Sizzling action for a hot summer's night: Zulu (1964), the story of eight British officers (including Stanley Baker and Michael Caine), 97 men, one minister (Jack Hawkins) and the minister's daughter (Ulla Jacobsson) v. 4,000 assorted Zulu warriors. Eleven Victoria Crosses were earned in the original battle of Rorke's Drift...
...rare moment, most of the U.S. seemed to be soothed and quiet. Except for the death and destruction wrought by Hurricane Camille, as summer drew to an end the nation basked in unwonted and unfamiliar calm. In California, President Nixon golfed and tended to minor matters of state with equal equanimity. The nation found solace in the reassuring trivia of routine. President and people took their cue from one another; each appeared to turn aside from grave national concerns to private delights of leisure.

"We've had a pretty good summer," said Patrolman Nick Giordano as he handed out an occasional ticket for jaywalking in Manhattan's Union Square. "Quiet. I only hope to God it will stay that...
Only Right. Carmakers grant rebates to dealers on autos sold during the cleanup. The average rebate is $200, but it can run much higher on expensive models. This bonus is what enables dealers to pare prices in late summer. It is only right that the buyer pay a lower price than usual because a car sold late in the model year has already suffered a good deal of depreciation; in a few weeks it will be "last year's car," worth about $700 less for a compact and $2,000 less for some luxury models. During the next...
