...Argot. One of the few series that consistently take the attitude that contemporary kids can be heroes is ABC's The Mod Squad (Tuesday, 7:30 p.m.). The hour-long show features-three youngsters: a miniskirted blonde (Peggy Lipton), a disenchanted rich white boy (Michael Cole), and an angry young black (Clarence Williams III). All three are credible individuals despite the hip argot, heavily littered with "solids" and "uprights," and frequently incredible plots. The show has been successful enough to be carried over into next season, even though the three are not likely to win universal favor among their...
...finally able to hitch a ride after ten misses, the cage swung widely back and forth in stomach-churning arcs as it was lifted to the helicopter. Astronaut Schweickart, the next passenger, was splashed through the water on the first swing of the sling. Astronaut McDivitt was forced to take refuge on the flotation collar when the wind flipped over his raft.

In the village of Vignola, the audience was so aroused by this argument that a group called for flags and guns to march on the nearby factory and take it over. The march did not take place. As one worker says to another in Grand Pantomime: "We can't kill the boss. After all, he has a mamma like us all and he pays for our local football team...
...Whole of Life. Nonetheless, she has been proved right so often that her critics have to take her seriously-and she is unlikely to give them a rest. In December, Margaret Mead officially retires from her job at the museum, but she will keep her office there, install a new hall on the "Peoples of the Pacific" and continue to write. She is helping to organize the social science division for Fordham University's new Lincoln Center college and plans to keep on making trips to the South Pacific...
