These distinctions are only general, but they are also tantalizing enough to constitute a basis for debate within the networks. NBC Audience Measurement Vice President Paul Klein and MGM-TV's sales coordinator, Herman Keld, argue that McLuhan is essentially right. Keld, for example, predicted that Joey Bishop, a "hot" nightclub comic who comes on strong, was bound to start out at a disadvantage in audience ratings when he went on the late-night air for ABC against "cool" Johnny Carson. He was right; and when Bishop decided to switch to a low-key approach, his ratings improved...
...Mills prepared to lead his committee into executive sessions behind locked doors, the White House was ready to abandon hope for a new tax, at least for this year. "I think the boys are just going to stand around the campfire for a couple of weeks," said Republican Representative Herman T. Schneebeli, a member of Mills's committee. "It's going to be a study in slow motion." Ranged against the experts are Congressmen who must face the voters next year; even as Congress voted a record $70 billion appropriation for defense, they were showing no inclination...
...Great Adventure becomes Darling of the Day, with music by Jule Styne. Plays returning in musical incarnation: The Happy Time, with fail-safe Director Gower Champion and Robert Goulet as leading man; and The Madwoman of Chaillot, by the same team (Robert E.

And now, reversing the old pattern, Broadway is borrowing from Hollywood: onstage, the movie The World of Henry Orient will be known as Henry, Sweet Henry; Don Ameche is playing Peter Sellers...
...They Are Right. Securities underwriters still foresee a heavy demand for money in the weeks ahead. "Everyone is coming to the market at once," frets Partner Herman Kahn of Manhattan's Lehman Brothers. "And not merely in the U.S., but worldwide." Later in the year, however, most bond dealers expect the scramble for loans to dwindle. Last week's tax message heightens that prospect in part by removing much of the uncertainty. If bankers and economists are right, it also portends easier money and somewhat cheaper credit for businesses...
...reports are not as complete a measure of corporate activity and efficiency as most people think they are. So said the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse & Co. last week. Reporting on the tax-accounting practices of 100 major U.S. corporations over a twelve-year period, Price Waterhouse Senior Partner Herman W. Bevis found that the 100 had tucked away $950,189,000 to cover deferred tax payments, but eventually paid out only $20 million of that amount. Thus, indicated Bevis, the true profits of the companies cited were actually about $930 million higher than reported...
