...witnesses at the Jencks perjury trial were paid FBI Informers J. W. Ford and Harvey Matusow, who testified that they had known Jencks as a party member. Both admitted that they had reported on Jencks's activities at the time in statements to the FBI. At the trial, in 1954, Matusow admitted: "I don't recall what I put into my reports two or three years ago, written or oral." Later (as Justice Brennan, writing for the Supreme Court majority, noted last week) the notorious Matusow recanted his testimony about Jencks. Obviously then, the original Ford-Matusow reports...

At the river's edge Platoon Leader Julitz made a quick decision: "We're going to ford the river," he told his men. "In battle, the bridge might be out, and we'd have to be able...

Fearless Wyatt Earp, Cheyenne and The Lone Ranger will continue to defend the frontiers, but only with reruns of last season's shows, and a "new drama series" disguised as Key Club Playhouse will run off old films from Ford Theater.

Grand Inquisitor Mike Wallace, the chain's "biggest" new talent, will be around on Sunday nights. Already filling...
...Lind Hayes will pinch-hit for Godfrey on Talent Scouts, and last summer's hot-pop Baritone Vic ("Da Moan") Damone returns with his caramel-whip tunes for a live hour in Godfrey's Wednesday-night spot. Fred Waring replaces Garry Moore's morning show; more Ford Theater reruns will fill in for Red Skelton, and Those Whiting Girls (Singers Margaret and Barbara) replace I Love Lucy. CBS's promising public affairs show, Look Up and Live, last Sunday began a special nine-part summer series aimed at helping teenagers. And daytime...
