MONDAY: Adventures of Don Quixote. Rex Harrison as the Knight of the Woeful Countenance. The score for this acclaimed special written by Oscar winner Michel Legrand. CH. 7. 9 p.m. Color...
Cassandra Warshowsky plays a maid with bright, starstruck eyes, a face fast as quicksilver and an awkward energy that has Liza Minelli written all over it. Donnally Miller's vague and woeful wildman has a strange way of displaying innocent curiosity. He even speaks his lines as if they themselves are a source of wonderment-it's perfect. Laure Solet's performance brings the concept of complaint to its highest reaches, with a successful method that can only be called nervous nonchalance. All in all Sam Shepard's play is so vigorously acted that one's magnanimity cannot help...
Prayer. Shula is not likely to run up against Brown in this year's playoffs. In the five years since he returned to active coaching, Brown has transformed the Bengals from a woeful expansion team into a tough title contender.

More often than not, the press found itself in that same dilemma?playing catch-up ball in a sprawling, chaotic game...
...football has been a bettor's nightmare. After yet another round of upsets last week, the Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Colts, both play-off participants last season, were in last place with a woeful total of only three victories in twelve games. Meanwhile, the surprising Green Bay Packers, dead last in their division last year, are now in a first-place tie with the Detroit Lions. As Joe Willie Namath might have said last week, after he threw a desperation pass that a Colt defender bounced volleyball fashion into the arms of Jet Receiver Eddie Bell...
