1. Last month Leonard Bernstein, American Composer and Conductor, responded to an invitation to conduct the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. The occasion was the dedication, via several concerts, of the new Fredric R. Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv. Omnibus covers this visit. 2. The other section of this 90 minute show is "American Trial By Jury". Boston attorney Joseph N. Welch turns to a trial which focused attention on the plea of not guilty by reason of insanity.
