Time for Treatment. "Overt alcoholism," the last good chance for recovery, spans roughly 5.9 years. The patient becomes a liquor hoarder, buys large quantities, worries whether he has enough to last through some particular crisis. This behavior is followed closely by drinking before breakfast (more than 95% of all alcoholics treated at Shadel Hospital have admitted doing so). The patient insists that he never gets "drunk," which may be true, since a constantly high level of blood alcohol need not impair his actions at first. Later it does; more and more he cannot seem to "hold" his liquor, may finally...
...last week Susskind rushed in and out of rehearsals, spending almost as much time on the phone as he did watching the actors, yet seeing enough to scribble endless notes of advice; e.g., "Keep Myrna alive." He supervised the cutting of Jeanne Crain's lines ("She's no Duse"), and hesitated not a moment to order the taping of an entire scene from The Browning Version when one actor showed a tendency to blow his lines. (This last maneuver, by a man who has always championed live TV and frowned on tape and other mechanical aids...
...observation is unfair. Dave Susskind (5 ft. 9 in. by his own measurement) may not only be taller than Sammy, but he dresses more stylishly and talks in round, mellifluous tones. The observation is also chronologically inaccurate.

After graduating cum laude (history and government) in 1942, Susskind served a tour in the Navy before he began...
...nose of a shell. At the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Silver Spring, Md., just outside Washington, Van Allen was a junior scientist in the proximity fuse business, but it made him an expert on how to pack complex circuitry into a small space and make it rugged enough to survive abuse. Working closely with the Navy, Van Allen was commissioned as a Lieutenant, j.g., made two trips to the Pacific to instruct gunnery officers in the use of proximity fuses...
...amazing conclusion: the earth was surrounded by a belt of intense radiation, apparently trapped by earth's magnetic field. It might be deadly enough to interfere seriously with man's attempts to fly out into space...
