The War’s Impact

For Kids Only: On Saturday, when most kids usually are watching cartoons, ABC and NBC will try to explain the Persian Gulf war to them. ABC’s effort, anchored by Peter Jennings, is a 90-minute special, “War in the Gulf: Answering Children’s Questions.” The show, with a studio audience of 30 children, starts at 7:30 a.m. At 9:30 a.m. will be a special 2-hour edition of NBC’s “Today” show that includes a segment for children about the war. The ABC and NBC programs each will have an 800 number for young viewers to call in with questions.
