Despite this record, there was some hope that the impetus of last year's comparatively fresh All in the Family, and the influx of top-drawer stars might lift the current season above the midden of the past. In fact, the networks' ten new comedy series-though their caricatures are slightly less grotesque-have sunk into the old predictability and sentimentality...
...Bill Raymond, 12, of Sacramento, Calif., snooped around his father's bedroom and found a leafy substance in a dresser drawer. The boy shared his discovery with a deputy sheriff who told the youth that it was marijuana. Later, while another sheriff's man waited in a nearby car, the youth again searched the bedroom and came up with more pot. The state charged Bill's father, Charles Raymond, with possession of marijuana.

Justice is sometimes served in mysterious ways.

They basked in the expansive mood of mutual esteem common to those who know that they are about to influence their nation's history...
...Rothschilds is not a top-drawer musical. It is not exciting or innovative, but it is a pleasant way to while away an evening. The Sheldon Harnick-Jerry Bock score neatly dovetails into the book, but it lacks any single rousing number like "Tradition" from their Fiddler on the Roof score. Hal Linden is warmly convincing as a Jewish Joe Kennedy. Except for Nathan Rothschild (Paul Hecht), the brother in London, the sons are not individually distinct. Absent from the stage of the Lunt-Fontanne Theater are two favorite Rothschilds-Mouton and Lafite...
