Luther on ABC: A stark, forceful portrayal of Martin Luther
John Osborne and Robert Shaw give a powerful 90 minute TV version of Luther adapted from the Broadway play. Luther, a stern, deeply religious monk, argues with his father and rulers, breaks with the church, and leads to the peasant revolt.

LONG BEACH AP The Queen Mary whistle will not be sold to University of Washington students.
