...many campaigns where the candidates find it hard to clash on any important issue, there has been a good deal of mudslinging. Accusations of conniving with crooks and winking at scandal have been hurled back and forth. Forbes has made the so-called Insurance Scandal a chief point of his campaign. He claims that Democratic state officials were derelict in their handling of the Loyalty Insurance Group investigation. John R. Cooney, president of the parent company of the Loyalty Group, was indicted last May on charges of defrauding the companies of $262,000. He has since pleaded no defense. Forbes...

Playhouse 90's version of Clifford Odets' "trio play," Clash by Night, was mostly a triumph of mien over message. When he wrote the play (a Broadway flop in 1942), Odets said he was trying to show "how men irresponsibly wait for the voice and strong arm of Authority to bring them to life and to shape ... So can come Fascism to a whole race of people." But TV Adapter William F. Durkee Jr. chose to tread the simpler level of the story-the interplay between a clod husband, a deceitful lodger, and a restive wife who dreams...
