...Eavesdropping. Thus acquainted with U.S. firmness, Sir Winston did not even bother to bring up his private dream of flying off to Moscow alone for a face-to-face meeting with Premier Malenkov-a meeting "at the summit." Instead, the discussion shifted to a specific subject: Russia's sudden assent to a Big Four Foreign Ministers' meeting on Germany and Austria. The British hoped for a quick Western acceptance and a quick note to Moscow, so the outside world would not get the notion that this was the only reason for the Bermuda get-together. Early January...
...captain spilled napalm on his uniform, which promptly burst into flame. Dean knocked him down in the dirt to extinguish the fire, and some of the flaming liquid spilled on his own leg. Dean was hospitalized, and for a while it looked as though he would miss his cherished dream of battle after all. But when the division embarked for Europe, Brigadier General Dean hobbled away from the hospital on crutches "without much authority," and climbed aboard too.

His dramas charted the canceled dream, the twisted love, the frustrated hope-cardiograms of the outraged heart...
Hollywood TVmen are inclined to look askance at Director Albert McCleery when he says, with deep conviction: "Television is only for those who believe in it like a religion . . . It is the dream of mankind, the magic box that will bring man the world." Unlike many other TV boosters, ex-Paratrooper McCleery backs up his big words with ambitious actions. On his Hall of Fame (Sun. 5 p.m., NBC-TV), he has staged shows ranging from the two-hour Maurice Evans Hamlet to an hour-long excerpt from Thomas Wolfe's gargantuan, garrulous novel, Of Time and the River...
