Playwright Tennessee Williams, 51, who likes to claim that his deepest compassion is reserved for things "not meant to win," feels very compassionate about The Milk Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore.

Robert Horton, late of Wagon Train, has now forgotten his name and goes searching around the West for it as A Man Called Shenandoah (ABC). He may bump into Lloyd Bridges, who has come out of the sea and is also wandering the West trying to get happy in Rod Serling's The Loner...
