...Saturday, December 18 THIS PROUD LAND (ABC, 9:30-10:30 p.m.). A special celebrating the Great Plains and the Rockies, narrated by Robert Preston, Laraine Day and Mildred Dunnock; music by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Rosebud Sioux Indians, who will sing their new tribal song, Seventy-Six Trombones...
