Muscular Morale. For all their defensive excellence, the Dons this year also pack an offensive wallop. Much of its muscle is hidden in the skinny (6 ft. 10 in., 210 Ibs.) frame of Bill Russell, 20, a happy-go-lucky Oakland Negro.

...mass euthanasia on lonely old men, Helen Hayes and Billie Burke were the epitome of lethal charm. John Alexander recreated his memorable role of their nephew who believes that he is Teddy Roosevelt (and leads a spirited charge up San Juan Hill every time he gallops upstairs), while Orson Bean managed to bring fresh good humor to the part of the only sane member of the zany Brewster family. Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff made a satisfying pair of stumblebum villains. Few TV revivals of old Broadway plays have come off as entertainingly and inventively as Arsenic and Old Lace...
