The romance of history. made tangible in the actual biographies of great personalities. is a neverfailing resource. at once Instructive and entertaining. It is noteworthy that a new series is to be launched next week. based upon the Leatherstocking tales of James Fenimore Cooper. classics of wellloved Americana. "The Last of the Mohicans." Surely there is some irony in the fact that thisas well as a 13 part series on the history of the old colony. "America"-are being presented by the BBC. In fact. of course. several popular hits of the current seasonI"All in the Family" and "Sanford and Son"-are only recently naturalized descendants of British series. A quality invasion of this kind represents. in fact. a kind of liberation. and we may hope that American television. with its immense technical resources. will respond to the stimulus. In the meantime. we are all the beneficiaries of these imaginatively conceived. stylishly produced. and beautifully acted series.
