...fight in 38 states and four Canadian provinces. Piped to 174 separate audiences by Manhattan's TelePrompTer Corp., the fight was boxing's biggest closed-circuit theater-TV presentation. Often fuzzy and unfocused, the large-screen picture even lit up some regular boxing arenas with the flicker of new-style programs to come. In Texas, and in upstate New York, where Basilio is a popular local hero, enterprising matchmakers put on live preliminaries before they dimmed the house lights, hooked up projectors, placed screens in the ring, and tuned in the main bout. Only in Grand Rapids, Mich...

Movie theater owners, who have long warned that films on television are destroying Hollywood, got some startling statistical support last week. The bad news, contained in a report on movie-going by Business Analysts Sindlinger & Co.: since the TV screens last fall started to flicker for fair with movies, average weekly theater attendance has dropped 7,000,000 from 1956 figures, and theater owners have taken a $50 million loss at the box office...

Quebec's Garage. Hayhanen's testimony brought not a flicker of reaction from impassive Spymaster Abel. Government lawyers hinted that even more damning evidence would be forthcoming. One agent whom Hayhanen had been told to contact was code-named "Quebec." He was, in fact, U.S. Army Sergeant Roy Rhodes, who had once worked in the garage of the U.S. embassy in Moscow, and, according to a message from Moscow, had been recruited "on the basis of compromising materials."

...Yankee Stadium a mile and a half of cable linked the cameras with NBC's color mobile unit in the street outside. Within the curbstone control room, nine shirtsleeved men were wedged into a maze of apparatus like submariners at battle stations, lit by little more than the flicker of eight TV monitoring screens.

Crammed in front...
