...show opens, a fortress-like curtain wall leans dramatically backward to form a sharply raked stage, bodies clinging to it as to the sides of a sinking ship. When Pontius Pilate appears, it is through a doorway modeled after the head of Caesar. As it telescopes open, bearing a throbbing resemblance to an Excedrin ad, it reveals six sets of eyes. The high priests descend on a bone bridge that looks as if it had been left over from one of Alley Oop's dinosaurs. During Christ's prayers to God in Gethsemane, a universe box is lowered over...
Died. Glenda Farrell, 66, actress; of lung cancer; in Manhattan. Often cast as a tough babe with hair and heart of gold, Farrell began her screen career as a gangster's moll in the 1930 film classic Little Caesar. She went on to wisecrack her way through scores of Hollywood movies, including I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang (1932), Gold Diggers of 1937 and the Torchy Blane series.

By and large, the networks' editors have done well in maintaining their purity. The only major recent controversy, other than the Pentagon program, concerned a polemical antihunting film shown on NBC. In it, a female polar bear with two cubs is apparently stalked...
...Richard Nixon like Julius Caesar? According to Author Theodore H. White (The Making of The President), Nixon faces the same temptation to transcend the law of the land. Before a rehearsal of his first play, Caesar at the Rubicon, at Princeton University's McCarter Theater, owlish politicophile White, 55, noted that Caesar's problems "were reborn with the American Constitution. We were the first republic under the law since Rome." Within five years after crossing the Rubicon, said White, "Caesar had become dictator and god, master of the world. He had placed himself outside...
