...more. TV has embarked on a new era of candor, with all the lines emphatically drawn in. During the season that began last week, programmers will actually be competing with each other to trace the largest number of touchy ? and heretofore forbidden ? ethnic, sexual and psychological themes. Religious quirks, wife swapping, child abuse, lesbianism, venereal disease ? all the old taboos will be toppling. Marcus Welby last week joined the abortion debate with a patient who had not one but two in a single year. An upcoming ABC "Movie of the Week" will feature Hal Holbrook explaining his homosexuality...
