John P. Marquand's Sincerely, Willis Wayde was not the best butter out of the churn of U.S. letters' smoothest old smoothy, but it was creamy enough to provide superior TV drama last week over CBS's Playhouse go (Thurs., 9:30-11:00 p.m.).

Dignified and smiling, his crew cut and glasses making him look (as one American put it) like...
Many a fire station, church basement or community center across the U.S. last week presented a scene more suggestive of the Depression than of the most prosperous year in U.S. history. Lines of citizens edged slowly up to makeshift counters, walked out with armloads of milk, butter, flour, or more than a dozen other food stuffs-all for free. The giveaway grocer: the U.S. Department of Agriculture...
