...half-hour programs based on the sadistic, satyric, free-lance detective created by Mickey ("I'm not an author, I'm a writer") Spillane. Soon to be shown by 122 stations, the series entangles Hammer with every evil from white slavery to the wayward son of a chambermaid. A onetime tailback for the College of the Pacific, Actor McGavin looks natural tossing heavies down flights of stairs and giving the leather to fallen enemies. But his performances as a whole are curiously uneven. In the first show he slurs his lines like a Bowery tough; in the second...
...night of July 17, 1918, ostensibly on their way to exile or imprisonment, the mild-mannered Czar of All the Russias, his German-born Empress, their five children, their family doctor, a chambermaid of the royal household, their cook and the Czar's English valet were all herded together in the cellar of a house in Ekaterinburg (now Sverdlovsk) and sprayed with Bolshevik gunfire. That much of one of the most brutal murders of modern times has been recorded as fact in all the history books. A vital footnote to the bloody night has remained ever since...
...Committee on Athletic Sports convened in Cambridge to consider the portentous fact that in six years under Head Coach Lloyd Jordan, 56, the Crimson football team has won only 24 games while losing 31 and tying three. Few men in the room knew a crossbuck from an Eliot House chambermaid. Only Associate Dean Robert Blake Watson had had direct contact with the game (as a scrub on the 1936 squad which won 3, lost four).

...intriguing and French little comedy, La Ronde possesses a wealth of amoral irony and a pleasantly fatalistic attitude toward love. Based on a play by Arthur Schnitzler, the film briefly traces the course of ten love affairs--between a prostitute and a soldier, the soldier and a chambermaid, the chambermaid and a student, the student and a married woman, the woman and her husband, the husband and a little cocotte, the cocotte and a poet, the poet and an actress, the actress and a count, and the count and the original prostitute. This merry-go-round of sex is attended...
