Edwin Booth (by Milton Geiger) is José Ferrer, and never the twain connect. This farrago of many scenes is nothing resembling a play; this thespian in many costumes evokes no once-great actor. Something has been borrowed from the legend of the Mad Booths, and something from the lives, to which have been added puns, pomposities, and speeches from Shakespeare's plays. In an atmosphere of swig-and-spout, Old Junius and Young Ned part company in California; Ned, amid rehearsals, finds romance with Mary Devlin; John Wilkes Booth shouts his Latin and is the assassin...
Offensively, the varsity relied too heavily on outside shooting. Only Donohue, who clicked for 11 points on five field goals and a foul, was able to hit with any consistency. George Harrington, counted on to give the squad scoring punch both from the outside and on drives, failed to connect on a single field goal...
...part of a subterranean complex under construction as Titan's first "hard base." Adjoining the missile tank are other sunken cylinders (see diagram), housing air-conditioning and hydraulic equipment, a power station, liquid oxygen and fuel tanks, and a command control center for the launch crew. Tunnels connect the widely dispersed elements, but after the alert, only the control center will be occupied. Remotely controlled, the monster, fueled and armed, will rise majestically to the surface as the massive doors open, go through a brief countdown as a radar-tracking dome some distance away rises from its chamber...
Dotto is so hotto just at the moment that it plays on rival networks-CBS, which launched the show earlier this year, by day, and a new NBC slot at night. A "champion" and a "challenger" must solve a picture puzzle consisting initially of a spattering of dots. To connect the dots and get the picture's outlines clearer, contestants must answer questions. When the picture is guessed, e.g., the face of Napoleon, the winner is rewarded at a base-pay scale of $20 per unconnected dots. This may soar with such refinements as Double Dotto, Triple Dotto...
...physicists, science writers and high school teachers, turned out an integrated text supplemented by ingenious do-it-yourself equipment (TIME, July 29). Throughout, the committee tightly knit together its subject material; e.g., wave action is presented early in the course, is later used as a common denominator to connect such ostensibly different subjects as light, sound, atomic structure. Concentrating on basic principles, the course even treats as broad a subject as heat in its relationship to kinetic theory and to the conservation of energy...
