Eye On New York (public affairs, hosted by Bill Leonard)

    (CBS Sunday Mornings, 1955 - 1959)

    [Long before CBS famed show "Sunday Morning" aired on
     Sunday Mornings with Charles Kurault looking out over
     the issues and culture across the whole country, this 
     CBS series broadcast on Sunday Mornings looked inward, 
     on the issues and culture and politics of New York;

     Its thoughtful treatment and intelligent documentaries
     did set the tone for what was to follow however...and
     was a predecessor on which the broader series was built]

    [Mitch Leigh was a versatile New York jazz composer who

     and the famous broadway musical "Man Of La Mancha"; he
