...deathbed agonies had the quiet poignancy and the ring of truth that so often evade lesser artists. All in all, Callas gave the Met its most exciting Traviata in years, and demonstrated again that she has lost none of the turbulent appeal that can magnetize an audience at the flick of an arm or a twist of the head. Diva Callas' next Met roles: Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor and Puccini's Tosca...
Whatever else it may be, next Sunday night (Oct. 13) will be the most lavish in TV history. A 3½-hour cascade of money and talent will flow into the cameras. For a change, TV fans will not have to flick dials from one show to another-the big parade of singers, dancers and actors has been programed without any overlapping: ¶ NBC and Rexall Drug Co. will try spreading some elfin cheer (6:30 to 7:30 p.m., E.D.T.) with a $325,000 "free treatment" of Pinocchio, with Walter Slezak, Fran Allison, Jerry Colonna, Stubby Kaye, Savoyard Martyn...
Alfried Krupp is confident that the climate will change; he has already seen the extent to which the cold war has softened earlier attitudes against German industrial concentration. In many cases, deconcentration has been allowed to become only a paper fiction; e.g., Friedrich Flick's steel combine "sold" one steel mill to Flick's sons.

Starting out with a $5,000 investment, they pioneered the movie industry's first reliable cameras and projectors, boasted that they "took the flick out of the flickers." Partner Bell sold out in 1921. Howell remained to advise a brisk new management, headed by the late J. H. McNabb, which made a stab at the amateur market with the first handheld, spring-driven 16-mm. movie camera for well-heeled hobbyists...
Inner Reality. This, probably the most offbeat novel of the season, and certainly Waugh's strangest, gains much of its quality from Waugh's rare knack of creating character and situation with the flick of a few words of dialogue. His ability to give airy nothings a local habitation and a name is untouched by the delusory subject matter. There is reality amid the hallucinations. Many standard Waugh phobias, e.g., journalists, book reviewers, evangelical clergymen, may be identified. In a prefatory note, the publishers state: "Three years ago Mr. Waugh suffered a brief bout of hallucination closely resembling...
