...THANKSGIVING VISITOR (ABC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). Something of a sequel to Truman Capote's award-winning "A Christmas Memory" stars Geraldine Page in an affecting tale about the meaning of Thanksgiving. Produced, directed and adapted by Frank and Eleanor Perry (David and Lisa), and Capote...
...biggest magnet for visitors is L.B.J.'s elaborately cosmeticized "Boyhood Home," a Texas Historical Landmark, which after three years of operation greeted its 200,000th visitor last summer.

The Nixonites have put on magnetic tape more than 1,100,000 names and addresses of a reserve army of workers. National Director John Warner says his goal is 5,000,000 names by Nov. 5. Within 72 hours, Warner boasts, leased computers across the nation can crank out 5,000,000 letters...
