...PLAYHOUSE (shown on Fridays). The Victorians: The Ticket-of-Leave Man. Barrie Ingham plays a young Lancashireman who falls victim to a London crook, is wrongly accused of forgery and sent to jail. Free again on a "ticket-of-leave" for good behavior, he sets out to track the crook and settle accounts...
...that year, its campaign management used parliamentary disputes and unruly behavior to discredit the anti-Syndicate candidate and to promote Donald C. Lukens, now a U.S. Representative from Ohio. The real issue--how the chairman can make the YRNF a more effective instrument for attracting young people and for electing GOP candidates--disappeared as the Syndicate forwarded a new issue: who was the most conservative candidate and who was the most devout Goldwater backer.

Sibling Rivalry. Miller's Canine Behavior Center usually has two dozen dogs under treatment, and Miller has had a number of celebrity cases in his practice.

And it is very easy for those who are hostile to the idea of a negotiated settlement, those who want a military solution, so to handle our relations with Hanoi and the NLF and so to gauge and present their responses...
...reason for all this unconventional behavior is that Arden is not making points, but people. He has nothing to prove and nothing to sell, and therefore he doesn't have to manipulate his characters into demonstrating a proof or making a sale. They are there in the stark altogether in order to make us laugh, and we laugh because they are disgusting and hypocritical, not because they are airing the writer's gags. And when any playwright gives his characters as much free reign as Arden does, he is bound to overwrite, as Arden most certainly does...
