Beyond Our Control will open its second edition by seizing control of the set and switching channels from station to station, s it briefly explores the world of television. In another segment of the program, Kim Guidi stars as Rich Clark in the premiere of "Puberty: The Teen-Age Magazine for Television;" included are the latest Hollywood gossip, new records, beauty hints and other hip happenings. In the weekly "Rock of Ages" segment of the show, Marcia Blodgettt, disguised as Mama Mass Elliot, will perform "Words of Love."
