We feel obliged to alert our members to a possible trouble spot on TV. According to one report, the September 23 episode of the CBS show, “Chicago Hope,” features “a priest who walks into the emergency room claiming to have been mugged by an assailant who bit through and severed his private parts.”

This episode was written by David E. Kelley. We’ve dealt with him before, most conspicuously with “Picket Fences.” It seems David has a thing about Catholicism. If the show offends, let CBC know it: write to Mr. Leslie Moonves, president and chief executive, CBS Television, 524 W. 57th Street, New York, New York 10019.
