Wow talk about something you'd never see today! Did WRAL do any other plays? Why did they pick an Ayn Rand play? And was the verdict for whether theater specials could continue or something else?
--Why did episodes of "Sesame Street" and the "Electric Company" get numbered? When did it stop? And did any other shows get this?
--Was the Tom Snyder episode the last TV appearance of Jimmy Hoffa? He would disappear that summer.

1. I honestly have no idea; this was as much info as I could rustle up.
2. For me it was easier that breaking my back on Google trying to find a full synopsis on that particular episode. I can tell you that on that particular episode of Sesame Street, Big Bird learned about clocks from Luis and David and Maria gave each other identical gifts.
3. I'm not sure.
