June 6 will mark the 50th anniversary of that momentous day, when 155,000 soldiers began the surprise invasion that led, less than a year later, to the liberation of Europe from the Nazis. On that anniversary, and in the days leading up to it, television will engage in a crusade of its own. It will invade in force the hallowed beaches and cemeteries of Normandy, and it will relive that day and the World War II era in general. The video invasion will come on three fronts: dramas about the war and its veterans, documentaries and news shows leading up to the anniversary and, on the day itself, many hours of live coverage of the official ceremonies commemorating D-Day. Those ceremonies will be attended by President Clinton, Queen Elizabeth II of Britain and French President Francois Mitterrand.

And the networks, CNN and the Public Broadcasting System are unlimbering their own big guns for the onslaught. Those include, for major documentaries, Dan Rather and retired Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf on CBS and Peter Jennings on ABC. A battalion of anchors and correspondents will throng Normandy for extensive live coverage of the June 6 ceremonies, including NBC's Tom Brokaw, Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric, ABC's David Brinkley and Sam Donaldson and CNN's Larry King.

And all the local TV stations are planning interviews with veterans as part of their regular news coverage in the days leading up to the anniversary. THE BUILD-UP to D-Day is already under way: Cable's Arts Entertainment Network last night aired a documentary. And this weekend the onslaught begins in earnest, with PBS as the spearhead: A Foreign Field, Masterpiece Theatre's star-crammed comedy-drama, airs at 9 p.m. Sunday on WXXI-TV (Channel 21, Greater Rochester Cablevision channel 11). The 90-minute show is about a group of people who return to Normandy to relive their memories.

Sir Alec Guinness, Leo McKern Rumpole of the Bailey), Geraldine Chaplin, Edward Herrmann and John Randolph star. D-Day, a documentary by three-time Oscar-winner Charles Guggenheim, airs on WXXI at 9 p.m. Wednesday. The story of the invasion is told through the voices of people who participated in it. Their voices are interwoven with footage from American, British and German archives, much of it never before seen on TV.

A Perfect Hero, a four-part drama, begins at 9 p.m. May 29 on WXXI. The show is about the eventual redemption of a handsome, charming, privileged young man who becomes a fighter pilot during the war and is horribly disfigured in the Battle of Britain. The story is based on the true story of flying ace Richard Hillary and stars Nigel Havers (The Charmer). Its weekly installments conclude June 19.

A Fighter Pilot's Story, a personal account of one pilot's experiences, airs in two episodes, at 4 p.m. June 4 and 11, on WXXI. In addition to period photos, music and combat footage, producer Quentin Aanenson primarily uses the letters he sent home to his future wife as a frame for telling his story. He follows his experiences from his early training, through the horror of his first killing on D-Day to his numbed PBS The day after In A Perfect Hero, Nigel Havers plays a British pilot whose bravery is tested after the battle. i Ml) LIBRARY You'll see much footage of June 6, 1944, the day the Allies leapt the English Channel.

The 90-minute show, hosted by Walter Cronkite, features period and contemporary music, interspersed with photographs and readings from letters and poems written by men and women who served in World War II.

Victory At Sea, the famed 1952 documentary series with a Richard Rodgers score, will air in two long installments, from 2 to 8 p.m. on June 5 and 12, on WXXI.

The series of half-hour programs, produced by NBC in the early 1950s, traces the Allied fleet's victory over the Axis powers in both the Atlantic and Pacific. Highlights include Japanese footage of the attack on Pearl Harbor and German footage of submarine operations against Allied shipping.

Call them nerds, but scientists are living longer as Institute on Aging, Friedman tracked the lives and deaths of a group of California youngsters first identified as gifted in 1922. That's the year legendary Stanford University psychologist Lewis Ter-man began his seminal behavior study of 1,528 children in Los An geles and San Francisco public schools. Terman originally set out to answer the question "Are scientists different?" But, according to Friedman, Terman was never interested in the differences in their longevity- NERDS on page 6C "There has been a great deal of speculation and some evidence to predict that sociable people should live longer," Friedman says. "And at first, it looked like that would be the outcome here.

Happily for scientists, we found just the opposite." According to Friedman's study, non-scientists are 26 percent more likely to die at any given age than scientists. In a sample of 600 men born around 1912, Friedman's group found that only 67 percent of non-scientists were still alive by age 70, compared to 72 percent of the scientists.

A new study spanning nearly 70 years suggests that, all else being equal, scientists live longer than non-scientists. The anachronistic image of socially impaired, slide-rule-toting chess masters has plagued legions of scientists.

But their tendency to be less gregarious than others may give them the last laugh, says University of California, Riverside, researcher Howard Friedman. "The findings do bode well for attracting the brightest scholars into science," says the Harvard-educated psychologist. "We don't have scientific proof yet," he says, "but what this ifstudy) may mean is that scientists have less stress. Perhaps they have found the right career niche for their interests and personalities." UNTIL NOW, sociability has been naturally associated with long and healthy lives.
