...spoken words was the premier broadcasts of the Time World News Service (TWNS), a new entry in radio journalism that will draw its material from the pages of TIME and its 87 correspondents and 32 news bureaus around the world. It is not TIME'S first foray into radio. That distinction belongs to The March of Time, heard from 1931 to 1945, probably the best-known of all documentary series. While The March of Time dramatized the news, however, TWNS will take a straightforward approach, presenting the actual content and prose style of TIME. Broadcast in more than...
PAUL NEWMAN'S FIRST FORAY into directing. Harry and Son, presents a series of excruciatingly mangled human relationships. At times touching, at times insightful, and generally well put together, the movie is rather like watching a show of hyper-realist depictions of dirty laundry, done from all angles.

This time the Castigator singles out the biggest boar in sight and hounds him into a gratifyingly slimy slough. The tale...
...quite unlike Cloud Nine, Churchill's wickedly ambisextrous foray into the man-woman relationship in the heyday of Victoria's imperial sway, updated in Act II to contemporary Britain. Nor does it remotely resemble Top Girls, her study of the modern career woman's adaptive skills at the Big Business pastime of cat-kills-mouse. The women of Fen seem primordially immune to change, though Churchill would doubtless argue that they have been ensnared in a capitalistic slave...
