...TARZAN (NBC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). To establish a native girl as the rightful queen of her tribe, Tarzan (Ron Ely) faces a crocodile, a cobra and quicksand in "The Three Faces of Death." Fate smiles down...
...Broadway potboiler, Leary's new show ought to be socko box office, as Variety might put it, although nabes in the sticks will be better off running Tarzan instead. For acid heads and the impressionable, however, Leary provides all the right production values: religiose gimmicks, weirdo music, sexo fantasy, all boffo.

It turned Bob Mathias, a 17-year-old high-schooler, into a national hero, and it earned a college education for a Negro lad named Rafer Johnson whose family were so poor that they lived in a boxcar on a railroad siding. The only thing the two-day, ten-event contest has done for California's Bill Toomey, 27, and Russ Hodge, 26, is run up their doctors' bills. Bill suffers from shin splints...
