Heartland USA
Dayton, Ohio, is in the heart of middle America. It's the home of the Wright brothers, the cash register, and the man who invented the flip-top beer can. Its voters know that in next Tuesday's Presidential election their town and their state are part of the real battleground. President Carter and Ronald Reagan know that they will win or lose in the Big Six industrial states of the north-east. Ohio is key among them and four years ago Carter won it by only 11,000 votes of 4 million cast.
In a local theatre, David Dimbleby talks to the people of Dayton about the choice they will make, crucial for them and for the rest of us. Gore Vidal , novelist and acerbic observer of American politics, offers his personal view of the candidates.

continues the season of films starring Hollywood's famous tough guy. Tonight with Jean Arthur

Arrested in error when Mannion escapes from jail, Jones is issued with a special pass to protect him from re-arrest. But Mannion, quick to exploit the confusion, tries to take over both the pass and his double's identity.
