Routes of Freedom (CBS, 10-11 p.m.). Alfred Drake, Alfred Lunt, Lynn Fontanne and others trace the development of the theater from its early Greek forms. Filmed in Athens...
...revolt was not in vain." Subtle Revision. Kadar's new stance has had a favorable effect at the U.N., which since 1956 has refused to approve or disapprove the credentials of Kadar's U.N. delegates (though they actually take part in debates and vote). The final trace of U.N. disapproval disappeared recently when Secretary-General U Thant spent three days in Hungary and seven hours with Kadar himself.

Mother hens set in climate-controlled rows while separate conveyor belts carry away their droppings and their eggs (average per hen: 200 fertilized eggs yearly).
