...rarely mentions any more that he was a White House aide to Richard Nixon in 1969. A graduate of Vanderbilt and New York University Law School and a former newsman, Alexander coordinated Tennessee Republican Howard Baker's Senate race in 1966 and was campaign manager for Tennessee Governor Winfield Dunn in 1970. Now he is a candidate himself for this year's G.O.P. gubernatorial nomination. Chairman of the state's Council on Crime and Delinquency, Alexander has made a point of announcing, "I'm going to disclose every single contribution I get although...

Campanella was the Brooklyn Dodgers catcher whose career ended when he was paralyzed in an automobile accident. This might be another soapy, tear-jerking rip-off of Brian's Song. But with Winfield around, it also stands a good chance of being worth watching. Ch. 7, 9 p.m. 2 hours...
...Harlem was groping for the best way to express his enthusiasm over the new court phenomenon. The youngster heard himself called "Houdini," "The Claw," "Black Moses"-and none of the nicknames pleased him. He took the announcer aside. Softly but deliberately he said, "Call me The Doctor.' " Julius Winfield Erving Jr., 21, was already demonstrating that he would...
