...great credit, Concealed Enemies, a four-hour, three-part docudrama in PBS'S American Playhouse series, clears away much of that baggage and concentrates instead on one of the most fascinating political mystery stories of the century. The drama, with script by British Playwright Hugh Whitemore, begins on Aug. 3, 1948, the day that Chambers electrified a HUAC hearing by naming Hiss as a Communist.

Last week the Dow Jones closed at 1148.87.
