...Aquanauts (CBS), a new series, turned out to be sea-horse opera of the first water about a pair of professional divers. The first episode got them into a struggle to outdo another diver in collecting manganese deposits off Hawaii. It could have been so much submarine corn if the show had not been crisply written and cleanly shot, and well swum by Actors Keith Larsen and Jeremy Slate. Aquanauts' chase scenes take on an odd, ballet quality 35 fathoms down, and the special language of the skindivers is at least less rusty than the dialogue that comes...

At 74 turning again to composition, Taylor says of Ibbetson: "I'd forgotten how good...
...flavorful, though poorly organized book that presents the Earps as little better than cow-country Capones. Yet, if he has deflated one dream, Waters, unlike most debunkers. has offered a pleasant vision in its place: that of a gay, gallant old lady in her rocking chair, dreaming of corn-tall buffalo grass and a dead, handsome lover...
