ON THE ROAD WITH CHARLES KURALT
Special: An American odyssey.
Since 1967, reporter Charles Kuralt has journeyed across small-town and big-city America to explore its people's character and customs. Some 20 of his "On the Road" pieces (first seen on the "CBS Evening News") make up this hour. As on the road in... Millers Mills, N.Y.: a 185-year-old winter ritual in which villagers cut pond ice and store it for use in the summer; Hoover, Ala.: a dazzling exhibition by the "Pied Piper of the parking lot"—a yo-yo champion; Dubuque, Iowa: a farmer prepares for a world cruise—an yacht that he is building himself; Eureka, Cal.: from back of the burn to the big time—the World Horseshoe Championships. There are also segments on a Minnesota high-school woodworking class that made a two-seater airplane, a reunion of rodeo stars in Pueblo West, Colo.; and an 80-year-old woman bellringer in Berkeley, Cal., chiming out "Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here." (60 min.)
