WORTH NOTING ON TV

SUNDAY Crew of the Enola Gay (8-9 p.m., A&E cable): Effective, sometimes harrowing documentary that follows the men who dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima as they retrace those apocalyptic events 45 years later. They actually tread on ``ground zero'' where the bomb fell, meet some of the victims face-to-face, and express feelings about things like the instant death of 80,000 people. Madonna - Live! (HBO cable, 9-11 p.m.): The final night of the pop singing star's ``Blond Ambition World Tour'' is covered live from Nice, France. All the dazzling effects are there - including Broadway-style lights, costumes, and dance - not to mention some of the show's Top Ten hits.

TUESDAY P.O.V. (PBS, 10-11 p.m.): `Kamala and Raji' - the names of two women of India - proves that individual attitude can make a difference. The film traces their day-to-lives and records their resourceful fight to beat the poverty and government exploitation that seemed so inevitable at first.

WEDNESDAY Castro's Cuba: Two Views (PBS, 9-11 p.m.): Is it a social paradigm or a tyranny? Depends on which picture of Cuba you accept: ``Uncompromising Revolution,'' a loving guided tour by Castro himself; or ``Nobody Listened,'' a compendium of horrors - from the lips of the victims - committed under the same man. The two hotly polemic films are introduced by National Public Radio's Scott Simon.

Please check local listings for all programs, especially on PBS.

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
