...WILD KINGDOM (NBC, 5-5:30 p.m.). The life of the golden eagle, America's largest preying bird. Color...
...Simbas marched the 250 whites out into the broad, dawn-pale streets near the monument of the late Patrice Lumumba, the wild leftist demagogue who was the Congo's first Premier and remains its leading martyr. The marble steps below the rain-blanched image were discolored with the blood of more than 100 Congolese executed in recent months: even before the rebels turned on the whites, they had brutally exterminated black opponents of their arcane revolutionary cause. At the monument, in the name of socialism and the Congolese People's Republic, the former mayor of Stanleyville had been...
...gunners picked women and children as their first targets. Many whites flopped onto the pavement, pretending to be dead. Others did not have to pretend.

They are the professional football scouts, and they know all about that particular halfback: too small, slow acceleration, can't cut left. The pros would gobble him alive. The player they watch is the 260-lb. offensive tackle who opened the hole-or maybe that 240-lb. defensive linebacker who fought off three men before he was knocked...
