...playwrights achieve a real triumph in the development of a character, for there is an implication that the major is motivated not only by heroism plain and simple, but by war-guilt which has gradually caused him to adopt a savior complex. Although somewhat less subtle psychologically, Thomas Carlin's rendition of a Second Lieutenant is equally effective...
...with it. Early last month, Cowan resigned from (but retained a financial interest in) his own company to go on the payroll of CBS as one of the network's resident geniuses (TIME, Aug. 22). Surprise has been largely handled by the Cowan executive vice president, Steve Carlin, who claims he can discover a further difference between the two programs. Says Carlin, with deadpan seriousness: "Despite the $100,000 payoff, The Big Surprise will not be, strictly speaking, a quiz show; rather, it is a novelty show, based in the main on human interest...
Even the mentally ill feel television's hypnotic spell. Indiana State Prison has already reported that television 1) has a calming effect on its mental-case prisoners, and 2) results in a saving on sedatives.

Carlin's only rule: his patients must not see "anything depressing or anything to cause excitement." So far, he reports with satisfaction, most TV programs do not violate this rule...
...remained staunchly Democratic after Congressman Charles Creighton Carlin Sr., of Alexandria, who had worked briefly as a reporter on the Gazette, bought it in 1911 from the Snowden heirs. Now Editor C. C. Carlin Jr., 49, the courtly, conservative son of the late Congressman, runs the Gazette in the same unreconstructed way. He proudly displays the Stars & Bars alongside an autographed photograph of Robert E. Lee in his tiny, cluttered office, just as proudly boasts that the Gazette was the first and northernmost newspaper to raise a rebel yell in the Dixiecrats' cause...
