That same gratifying surprise awaits NBC viewers next Tuesday when Hallmark Hall of Fame televises the Chamberlain Hamlet. It is an aristocratic, romantic and (he admits) "not scholarly" conception of the role. His Hamlet is passionate sometimes to the point of hysteria and Chamberlain's accents (well east of mid-Atlantic) are tinged with tremolo. Sir Michael Redgrave, an esteemed former Old Vic Hamlet who plays Polonius in this TV production, says that, overall, "Richard is very good-more than just interesting."

Still, the President could have absorbed the blow quietly, picked a more suitable candidate for his third try at the court and hoped that the affair would eventually blow over. Instead, displaying signs of the zest for political roughhousing that was his hallmark in the 1940s and '50s, Nixon decided to slug it out with the Senate.

Bill Monroe's hallmark through the years has been continuous innovation in the style in which he plays his chosen instrument...
...catching graphics and pungent copy. For example, a recent ad for Alfa Romeo by the French subsidiary of London's Colman, Prentis & Varley shows an ignition key stuck in a succulent red apple under the single word "Temptation." A breezy approach to sex and nudity is another hallmark of the New Wave. A lingerie ad in Elle, the French magazine, shows a couple in bed. "How was I?" she asks, slipping on her brassiere. "I love you," he replies, "and your Aubade...
