...experience: 50 uninterrupted minutes of a virtuoso instrumental recital. There will be no portentous documentary script, no dizzying camera angles, no glamorized settings-just an unadorned closeup of a great performer at work. The performer: Vladimir Horowitz. Oddly enough, this is one time when Horowitz will have to forgo Bonanza; that's his NBC competitor Sunday night...
...will cost perhaps $1,000,000 to make Bikini habitable again. Thick, matted underbrush must be cleared and coconut palms planted to replace trees seared by atomic blasts. Two islets where tests were conducted have been blown off the map. Bikinians may have to forgo eating land crabs and pounded arrowroot, two delicacies that retain dangerous radioactive isotopes.

An unabashed sentimentalist where Cleveland was concerned, Seltzer did his best to identify the paper with the town, to such an extent that it often dictated the choice of candidates for public office. That is a role the present management has chosen to forgo. "By playing kingmaker," says Editor Thomas L. Boardman, 48, "we were weakening the role of the parties and the democratic process." So, by choice, the Press delayed its endorsement for mayor last year while Vail became chief supporter of the victorious Negro candidate, Carl Stokes...
