...E.D.T.) has George Peppard as Ben Casey redivivus-another resident neurosurgeon who sprinkles ground-up interns on his crunchy granola for breakfast, gnaws on the leg of a hospital administrator at lunch and fries incompetent colleagues for dinner. Hospital-show scripts are as predictable as hospital menus-and bear precisely the same relationship to real drama as institutional food does to haute cuisine...
...combat with the N.R.A. was occasioned by The Guns of Autumn, a documentary that purported to describe hunting in America. In 90 minutes, Director-Writer Irv Drasnin, a journalist for 15 years but not a hunter, compiled carnage upon atrocity. Black bears were slaughtered at a Michigan garbage dump by tourists with rifles. A gang of rednecks with the latest electronic gear treed a bear, then watched hounds rip it apart.

The President's reaction to his day was casual and characteristic: "Gee, it's nice to be home." Then he said: "We had a great trip−just a fraction of a second or two kind of distorted...
...Designer Franco Colavecchia have conceived sets that underline that aura of make-believe. The plantation cabins, for example, are shells that are held up on poles by supers. The rainbow that greets Treemonisha's ascendancy to leadership is an arch of ribbons. Dancers with alligator and bear masks move in and out of the voodoo scene. Louis Johnson's choreography does have a touch of Broadway pizazz. But when those good plantation folks turn from corn husking to "goin' around" (square dancing), it is hard to believe that anything so bouncy could have been rehearsed, let alone...
