...POPPY IS ALSO A FLOWER (ABC, 7:30-9 p.m.). The Xerox series of top-talent drama specials on the U.N. has been disappointing so far, but this one looks promising. Director Terrence Young (Dr. No) uses an Ian Fleming story to illustrate the U.N.'s efforts to control narcotics, and the cast is a U.N. in itself: Senta Berger, Stephen Boyd, Yul Brynner, Angie Dickinson, Hugh Griffith, Jack Hawkins, Rita Hayworth, Trevor Howard, E.

His wife Mary, raised in a lace-curtain Irish home, schooled in a convent, has turned to morphine after the illness in which she bore her second son, Edmund, (representing O'Neill himself). The eldest son, Jamie, has wasted away an acting and writing talent in a Broadway life of whiskey and cynicism.
