...Sinclair Armstrong, 39, a Chicago corporation lawyer before he became a member of the Securities and Exchange Commission in 1953. was named chairman of the SEC by President Eisenhower. Armstrong, a Harvard graduate ('38), got his law degree there in '41 and served as a Navy lawyer during World War II. He replaces Ralph H. Demmler, 50, chairman since 1953, who is returning to a private law practice in Pittsburgh. Andrew D. Orrick, 37, regional administrator of the SEC's San Francisco office, was nominated to fill the commission vacancy caused by Demmler's retirement...
Next came a fat saddlebag full of westerns. On Tuesday night a viewer could find hardly anything but six-shooters and cowpunchers. Armstrong Circle Theater proved again that the good guy can always outshoot the bad guy; Danger tried hard to mix comedy with its gun fighting in The Last Duel in Virginia City, while Elgin Hour presented Black Eagle Pass, a homily on the evils of bigamy in the Far West. Paul Douglas got a single-tracked power into his role of the blackmailed and misunderstood bigamist, and the Western setting was apparently justified in the last act when...

...Armstrong Circle Theater offered a grim little farce called TV or Net TV. The plot line: when a group of suburban husbands feel abused because their wives and children neglect them to watch television, they cunningly arrange to botch the TV reception; but a few nights of listening to the incessant yammering of their TV-free families drive them to restore the status quo. Somewhere in this vicious circle the televiewer himself may well have felt tempted to risk the full fury of a family on the loose in preference to the typically bad TV farce represented...
...better at singing than Betty. Why did he do it? Explained Paar: "We're on the air 15 hours a week, mostly without script, so everyone has to double in brass. Edith Adams can do any dialect, sing in Italian, German and French, and mimic personalities from Louis Armstrong to Marilyn Monroe. What's more, she's full of ideas, and ideas are what we live...
