The night ends with the monks from the monastery of St. John's in Collegevile, Minnesota.

The World Town Meeting, or Town Meeting of the World if you prefer, was a debate over United States policy in Vietnam, broadcast via satellite, between teams from Harvard and Oxford. Speaking for the policy is the Harvard team, a strange combination of political bedfellows including Henry Kissinger, future Nixon Secretary of State, student and future law professor Lawrence Tribe (who was frequently mentioned as a possible Democratic appointee to the Supreme Court), and Robert Shrum, who goes on to be a Democratic consultant and speechwriter. Head of the Oxford team is Socialist MP Michael Foot, whom Chris Berman surely would have referred to as "Michael 'My Left' Foot."

No seasonal programming on NBC tonight, since it's movie night. The Savage Innocents, directed by Nicholas Ray - that's one of my favorite Christmas movies. Well, it features an Eskimo hunter who accidentally kills a missionary, so at least there's snow.
