...Parsons, 51, Groton and Yale ('29). "Jeff" Parsons, onetime protégé of farsightedly anti-Communist Ambassador to Japan Joseph Grew, is a Foreign Service officer who served ably as deputy chief of Mission to Japan (1953-56), as U.S. Ambassador to Laos (1956-58), and sees eye to eye with Virginia-bound Walter Spencer Robertson on the need to base policy on the principle-proved correct again in Tibet-that Red China is "the enemy...
Though his proud fellow citizens like to think of him as their own Mike Hammer, Milan's Tommaso Ponzi, 37, really does not quite meet TV specifications for a private eye. Big Tom weighs 270 lbs., is a happily married homebody (three children) who has no time for slinky blondes. But otherwise, Tom is up to fictional standards.

The Classical Players' production is unflaggingly engrossing to both eye and ear; and the entire cast and personnel can justifiably repeat the Chorus' concluding sentiment: "We've done our job very fairly indeed today...
Baltimore falls in the same questionable category with Cleveland. The Orioles have a pretty fair assortment of pitchers and the league's best catcher in Gus Triandos, but then things tail off rapidly, though first-baseman Bob Boyd is definitely a strong infielder. At this point one's eye inevitably falls on the likes of Willie Miranda of the porous bat, Brooks Robinson of the unrealized potential and Bobby Avila of the better days: the Orioles will not make it out of the second division...
