...Actually, the first demonstration of TV by David Sarnoff [Oct. 7] was given in 1930. It was by closed circuit from the studios of RCA Photophone on the eleventh floor of 411 Fifth Avenue, to a Broadway theater packed with the press and theatrical, radio and movie world hierarchy. A young junior exec on the scene at the time, I was recruited to give a five-minute performance under green grease paint, but without rehearsal or direction. It was the golden opportunity for an aspiring actor, but I flunked it completely because of stage fright. Mr. Sarnoff kept...
...Robinson, 31, set off to make some noises of his own. In Manhattan with his wife Barbara to pick up the Corvette Sting Ray that Sport magazine gave him for being the Series' standout, Frank began exercising his vocal cords for the winter's after-dinner speaking circuit, which will keep him busy describing how he won batting's Triple Crown and then went on to wreck the Los Angeles Dodgers with two more homers in the Series.

The extra electrons, having no other way to rejoin the ions, flow through an external circuit that carries them to the sulphur electrode. That electron flow is an electric current...
...powerful and, one presumes, whoppingly solvent. He is so successful, in fact, that he wrote a book about his trade and it promptly became a best-seller. He is the kind of man whose name looks good on the roster of trustee boards, on cultural committees, on the speaking circuit--and indeed he is on all of these. When he comes to Harvard he can speak merely of what he did the previous day and attract a good sized audience. And yet he is neither a distinguished statesman, a respected scholar, nor an entertainment celebrity. David Olgivy has become...
