Muhammad  Ali vs. Ernie Terrell for the heavyweight boxing championship in the Houston Astrodome. Ali won a unanimous 15 round decision. 

ABC radio. 

  The fight
Ali was ahead in most of the rounds. In the first two rounds, Terrell was competitive, but in the third Terrell's eye started to swell, leaving him half-blind for much of the match. By the sixth round Ali was clearly ahead, though Terrell still had moments. The shift came in the seventh round, when Ali landed a left hook that sent Terrell to the ropes, and launched a flurry of blows seeking a knockout. Terrell repelled Ali with his own desperate offensive, but had wobbly legs for the remainder of the match. Terrell landed a hard right hook that forced Ali back to the ropes in turn, causing the announcer to say "Clay is hurt, Terrell is desperately fighting back." The eighth round went solidly to Ali, battering the wobbly and half-blinded Terrell, though Terrell still landed jabs and would jolt Ali with a hook. This state went on for the rest of the fight; in the 13th round, commentator and boxer George Chuvalo commented that Terrell had been unexpectedly hanging on and that Ali looked tired, predicting the fight would end with a decision rather than a knockout, which turned out to be a correct assessment.[4] In the eighth round, Ali taunted Terrell by asking "What's my name?" and calling him "Tom", but ceased to speak to him after that point, not even saying a word to him when the match ended and both boxers went back to their respective corners.[5] Two of the Judges scored the bout 148–137 and the other had it 148–133 all in favor of Ali.

Bill Cosby and his childhood chums from North Philadelphia star in Bill's first animated TV Special.  

      An autobiographical animated special featuring comedian Bill Cosby's childhood reminiscences about friendship, football, monster movies, and girls. Serving as an imaginative proxy for the humorist is "Fat" Albert, a gargantuan playground fixture known for his throaty salutation "Hey, hey, hey!" 

The Tackle Championship of the Entire World is at stake as Captain Cosby's Eagles prepare to meet the fearsome Green Street Terrors. With Fat Albert on their team, the Eagles are confident they can forgo practice for a matinee (featuring Lon Chaney Jr. as the Wolfman).

NOTE:
In 1969, Cosby and veteran animator Ken Mundie brought Fat Albert to animation in a prime-time special entitled "Hey, Hey, Hey, It's Fat Albert."

The special, which aired on NBC, was a hybrid of live action and animation. The music for the special was written and performed by jazz pianist/keyboardist Herbie Hancock in 1969 and was released on the Warner Bros. album Fat Albert Rotunda. For the animated portion of the special, it was necessary to develop the actual appearance of each of the Fat Albert Gang's characters. For this, Ken Mundie relied on animator Amby Paliwoda, a former Disney artist. Paliwoda not only created all the Gang's characters, but painted a "group portrait" which was eventually shown on the front page of TV Guide magazine shortly before the showing of the special.

The story of the Roman occupation of Judea during the days of Christ.     

Van Heflin stars in this drama, set in Judea. The play centers on two characters; the Hebrew judge, Joseph of Arimathea and his son Jonathan. 
Both men are troubled by the Roman occupation of their land: both have listened to the words of the prophet Jesus. Joseph sees the man of Nazareth as the Messiah, sent to give the people hope without stirring up revolution. Young Jonathan, filled with the same seething resentments as his friends, hears a different message. He interprets Jesus's words as a call to arms.
