...Analyst v. Butterfly. This extraordinary diary is Henri Beyle's completely candid dialogue with himself between 1801 and 1814, from the age of 18 to 31. Diarist Beyle permitted himself no second thoughts, following his own basic rule "not to stand on ceremony and never to erase." He put it down simply, quickly, directly, without ornamentation, racing on the wing of the event, often dashing off notations in telegraphic French and dotting it with unlikely Italian and improbable English ("She did can well perform and not be applaused"). Diarist Beyle's spontaneous self-communion is raw, inchoate, crackling...
...complex, contradictory personality he undertook to commit to paper and one that would later appear in various guises in his masterpieces The Red and the Black, The Charterhouse of Parma and Lucien Leuwen.

But NBC scored with such new techniques as the split screen that let four reporters from as many cities talk to each other (and the viewers) at the same time. In a post-midnight phone call, Vice President Richard Nixon praised NBC for "objective reporting" and for "the finest election coverage I have ever seen...
...Murrow is unquestionably the only TV news analyst to have a U.S. Senator for a foreign correspondent. The Senator: Maine's Margaret Chase Smith who, before she turned to politics, worked on the Skowhegan (Me.) Independent Reporter. When he learned last month that Senator Smith planned a European tour after her reelection, Murrow asked if he might send along a CBS camera crew. She agreed, and has already dispatched chatty filmed interviews for Murrow's See It Now with such personalities as Anthony Eden. Punch Editor Malcolm Muggeridge and Nye Bevan ("Mr. Bevan . . . what are your principal impressions...
