...newspapers and over the air, the Council charged that undergraduates did not know enough about the plan. It interviewed the administration officials, and then turned in a one-page report "for undergraduate information" which ambiguously explained all over again what had already been fully and clearly stated. To climax its mishandling of the issue, the Council dropped its potentially valuable committee on Advanced Standing in the year preceeding the program's establishment...
Tongue-Lashing Aria. Menotti is a master melodist and an excellent hand at concocting workable dramatic episodes. Moment by moment, he has his audience believing in his action, even if it is laden with stereotypes. Each of his five scenes works to a strong, stirring climax. Michele drives the gawking neighbors out of his cold-water flat after Annina's vision. During a religious parade, he is beaten and shackled to a steel fence in symbolic martyrdom. He stabs his mistress after she accuses him of incestuous love for Annina. In a bleak subway station, he curses Annina when...
...dramatic shows filled the air with fleeing Communists. On Danger, three Soviet airmen in a bomber escaped over the North Pole to find sanctuary near Boston; on NBC's Kraft TV Theater, two refugee Polish ballet dancers came to earth in New Hampshire; on CBS's Climax, a Russian scientist, carrying a horrifying canister of newfangled germs for bacterial warfare, almost made it to freedom before his plane crashed somewhere near Copenhagen. U.S. military and U.S. intelligence agents came off superbly in all these brisk encounters with the enemy, but the plays themselves were not very good...

After a few preliminary steps, the surgeon cut it out. This was the climax of a horror movie sponsored by the American Temperance Society, affiliated with the tobacco-fighting Seventh-Day Adventists. Purpose of the movie, available to churches and civic groups: to dramatize the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer. Star of the film: New Orleans' famed Surgeon and Anti-Tobacco Crusader Alton Ochsner (appearing anonymously...
Brisk Gallop. What little novelty and brightness was around last week was again supplied by the dramatic shows. On CBS's Climax, William Faulkner's An Error in Chemistry journeyed to storied Yoknapatawpha County for a study of a carnival confidence man as casually evil as a rattlesnake. Edmond O'Brien played the role with a fine malevolence, although the mistake that finally trapped him was both too forced and too trifling to support an hour show. Kraft TV Theater ambitiously tried Camille on NBC and Kitty Foyle on ABC. Signe Hasso coughed and swooned appropriately...
