...least 40 speeches by mid-December, before audiences ranging from the Altrusa Club of Little Rock to the United Church Women of Fort Smith. The reason for his urgency: Fulbright faces his most serious opposition since he defeated Senator Hattie Caraway and Governor Homer Adkins in 1944. Democratic Representative Dale Alford, who went to Washington two years ago as an effective segregationist vote getter, has been redistricted out of his seat and has ambitions for Fulbright's. Governor Orval Faubus, finishing a record fourth term as Governor, might be tempted by the larger scope of Washington. Both Alford...
Holding steadily to these ambivalences, the TV drama rang true instead of ringing with packaged Truth. In earlier adaptations for stage and film, Greene's novel became little more than a frenzied search for a bottle of sacramental wine. But Adapter Dale Wasserman succeeded in dramatizing the infinitely more significant frenzy of a man in search of his own soul...
...until he feels like "The Soldier Who Saw Everything Twice" (the ironic title of one chapter). Heller fights a nip-and-tuck battle with the twin temptations of redundance and abundance, succumbs shamelessly to blatant gag writing until much of his dialogue resembles an old Smith & Dale vaudeville sketch ("Why can't you marry me?"

The doctors using them would be almost as well off with a rolled-up sheet of paper-which is just what the stethoscope was when first...
...batters. By graduation he had a won-lost record of 26-0, five no-hitters, an average of 15 strike-outs a game, a niggardly 0.45 earned-run average, and eight major league clubs on his tail. While a platoon of scouts watched, wheedled and courted Wade. Dale Blasingame did all the talking for his boy. The talk was blunt, sometimes brutal. "Half a dozen teams were in there with high offers," says he. "Some others frankly confessed they were on budgets, and I just as frankly told them that they weren't even close." The San Francisco Giants...
