Every second, millions of impulses skitter down the cables, linking the Real-world beneath the podium to the Magic Kingdom: the Bear Jamboree plunks and toots, holographic phantoms squeak and gibber among the cobwebs of the Haunted Mansion, and in the antechamber of the Moon Rocket in Tomorrowland, a robot scientist holds a conversation with a scarcely less robotic Disney World hostess...

Most authentic touch: the serious, heavily accented explanation of the nation's own German born rocket experts, Willy Ley and Wernher von Braun. To pay a Person-to-Person (CBS Fri. 10:30 p.m., E.S.T.) visit to Internal Revenue Boss T. Coleman Andrews at his modest 4½-room apartment in Parkfairfax, Va., CBS's Ed Murrow unearthed an odd fact: Collector Andrews...
