Summary:

HOMAGE TO HEROES: It was just 25 years ago that a few Spitfires and Hurricanes and a handful of pilots stood between Britain and total defeat at the hands of Hitler. Now, a generation later, that Battle of Britain is remembered as tribute is paid in Westminster Abbey to those RAF fliers and their leader. Lady Churchill and her family are here, as well as members of that gallant band who turned the tide of World War II, as Queen Elizabeth unveils a plaque honoring Sir Winston Churchill. SEAL NOSE-COUNT: Along the desolate and forbidding coast of the Bering Sea the seals come home so that the youngsters can be born in the old home town, as it were. This year, there is good news as they take a census - the herds are still on the increase. Before the turn of the century, indiscriminate slaughter of seals threatened to wipe them out. SPORTS FOOTBALL PURDUE UPSETS NOTRE DAME ....25 to 21: The only thing sure about the new football season is that nothing is sure. Upsets are the order of the day - and Purdue pulls the turn-about of the week on Notre Dame. In a see-saw battle, they pull out all the stops in the fourth quarter as Quarterback Bob Griese drives the Boilermakers down the field for a last-minute touchdown and victory.
