BOLD ONES, THE: THE SENATOR: TO TASTE OF DEATH BUT ONCE {SERIES PREMIERE} (TV)

Summary

One in this series of dramas about idealistic Senator Hayes Stowe, one segment of a rotating set of programs going under the umbrella title of "The Bold Ones." (Other elements included "The New Doctors," "The Protectors," and "The Lawyers.")

In this episode, a pall is cast over Stowe's imminent speech at Garbury College when he receives an anonymous threat on his life. Although his speech -- "Practical Uses of Dissent in the 1970s" -- can be postponed, Stowe decides to deliver his address as scheduled to show that intimidation cannot unduly influence his behavior. While he displays resolve in the face of danger, undercover government officials race to apprehend the would-be assailant. Commercials deleted.
