WORTH NOTING ON TV

WEDNESDAY World Series (CBS, 8-11 p.m. E.T.): Live coverage continues with Game Two - check local listings for remaining schedule. SUNDAY Seasons of Life (PBS, 10-11 p.m.): Five stages of life and how each is lived is the theme of this five-part documentary series, premi`ering with ``Infancy and Early Childhood.'' Real people tell their stories as human development is traced from conception to old age.

MONDAY Vivien Leigh: Scarlet and Beyond (TNT cable, 8-9 p.m.): The brilliant but generally underrated career of the late actress went far beyond the role she's best known for - Scarlett in the movie ``Gone With the Wind.'' In this documentary hosted by Jessica Lange, rare footage and interviews with people close to Leigh reveal a drive for perfection sustained through a troubled life often overshadowed by her husband, Laurence Olivier.

WEDNESDAY Art of Indonesia: Tales From the Shadow World (PBS, 8:30-9 p.m.): A film crew roamed through the 13,000-plus islands of this much-covered but still little-known archipelago and came up with an evocative mix of temple ruins, scenery, and folk performances. The Heroes (PBS, 9-11 p.m.): A hair-brained scheme that worked is the key to this fascinating drama - drawn from that inexhaustible source of true stories, World War II - about a young British captain and 12 other men who cross the ocean and slip into Singapore harbor in a refitted boat to destroy enemy ships.

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.
