Newsmen huddled on cold (10°), windy (40 m.p.h.) Mt. Charleston, nearly 50 miles away, muttered with frustration. The blast was a disappointment: the sky lit up with a dull red glow for a second; the mushroom cloud was hidden in the dark overcast; the sound bounced over Mt. Charleston completely...
GEORGES ROUAULT, at 83 the eldest of the living French masters, is coming to the end of his career in a swirl of glory. His heavily larded oil paintings seem to glow with ever brighter colors. His reputation is steadily increasing. Because Rouault himself stood apart from the Paris-born art movements during his time, his work seems to transcend the fluctuations of contemporary tastes; the appeal of his religious subjects speaks more clearly with each passing decade. Rouault's powerful paintings glow in the mind like images in Gothic stained glass. With their strange, archaic quality, one critic...
Excellent at conveying a slightly alcoholic gaiety in people, Saroyan is far less persuasive about the all-abounding goodness in life.

Norby (Wed. 7 p.m., NBC) stars David Wayne as vice president of a Pearl River, N.Y. bank and Joan Lorring as his giggling wife. Like all TV investigations of small-town U.S.A., it is suffused in the rosy, nostalgic glow more common to the Gay Nineties than the 20th century. Filmed in color by sponsor Eastman Kodak Co., Norby finds its humor in an uncritical succession of minor disasters for Hero Wayne: he gets his arm caught in the lining of his sleeve; he shakes hands with a statue instead of a friend; he promptly breaks a desk...
