...Christmas Eve nine years ago, Gian Carlo Menotti's Amahl and the Night Visitors had its premiere on NBC television, has been a seasonal fixture ever since. Last week another Christmas opera, Golden Child, was displayed on NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame.

One happy result of the U.S. race for college is the rising fame of colleges that seemed obscure only a few years ago. Such good small schools as Carleton. Claremont Men's, Colby, Lawrence, Mills, Occidental, Pomona, Reed or Scripps are hardly "unknown" any more. Each is now almost as tough to get into as the East's most favored campuses...
