...this week's cover story on Sherman Fairchild's interests and other growth companies, TIME revisits some old friends. As early as 1936, we reported on a young inventor named Edwin H. Land and his polarized lens; in 1947 we noted the advent of Polaroid's remarkable 60-second camera before it was marketed. A $35 investment in Polaroid that year would now have grown to $862. Texas Instruments, now selling at 214¾, was the subject of an April 1957 story when it sold at about 20. A June 1954 story on Ampex pointed out that...
...Millionaires. Like Fairchild, most of the men responsible for the success of the nation's new growth companies are intensely curious and dedicated men who started out to do something new rather than simply make money (although they hoped to do that too). Among the new millionaires : ¶Edwin H. Land, chairman, president and research director of Polaroid Corp., was worth $95.4 million personally (plus $99.8 million in stock held by his family) when Polaroid stock touched $256.50 a share earlier this year. Every time Polaroid's stock moves two points, the Lands' wealth rises or falls...

In these productions, the excellence of Fritz Weaver as Henry and Edwin Sherin's more than competent Prince Hall combine with Eric Berry's somewhat unsatisfactory Falstaff to show the plays in this light despite the missing context of the two other plays...
...Edwin Sherin's Prince Hai does not reach the heights of Weaver's performance, but then, the role hardly permits it. His chief asset is a face that combines an appealing boyishness with intelligent solemnity, the latter growing as the plays progress. He moves well and his voice handles verse cleanly and expressively. Particularly impressive in the tavern scenes, where he manages to retain his stature as Prince and heir to the throne even in the Boar's Head atmosphere, he excels in Henry's death scene, where he matches Weaver's virtuosity...
