Television was busy last week with scalpel and sedative, and viewers had a vicarious whirl through the agonies of d.t.s, the miseries of migraine and the horrors of infanticide. On NBC's March of Medicine, Announcer Ben Grauer introduced the subject of alcoholism from a comfortable perch at Moriarty's bar on Manhattan's Sixth Avenue.
