...drawings, watercolors and wash and chalk sketches of great master painters are rarely seen. They fade easily on exposure to light and so are customarily kept in museum storerooms, viewable only upon special appointment. A great pity, as this collection amply illustrates. The 300 selections present a remarkable range of style and subject and a surprising spectrum of soft colors (the chalks and washes) that often show off the sharp eye and skeletal strength of the artist better than works done in larger compass...
...Fade Out. The largest independent U.S.. tube manufacturer, National Video suffered the classic one-product-company disaster. Seizing on glowing industry predictions of a surge in color TV sales, Cole decided to phase out production of black-and-white tubes, on which he was losing money, and switch to color. In 1965, he floated a $12,095,000 stock issue to bankroll expansion. Orders for color tubes from Motorola, Admiral and other set makers poured in, rocketing 1966 sales to $89 million. Profits reached $7,300,000 compared with the previous year...

...live, Cunningham works hard to make his characterization more than the dull stiff it easily could be. He is, of course, helped out by the writing. Joseph Stein, the author of the show's book, establishes Niko quickly in the second scene and never allows him to fade from view after that. (As in his book for Fiddler, Stein never lets any character slip through his fingers.) When Niko finally forgets pretense, allowing himself to fall in love with the beautiful widow (played with quiet grace by Carmen Alvarez), the transformation is thrilling, as Stein and Cunningham have created someone...
