...listeners were soon sharing Salvador's Dalirium. Planting his elbows on a lecture table strewn with bread crumbs, Dali blandly explained: "All emotion comes to me through the elbow." Then he announced his latest finding in critical paranoia. The gamy meat of it: "Everything departs from the rhinoceros horn! Everything departs from [Dutch Master] Jan Vermeer's The Lacemaker! Everything ends up in the cauliflower!" The rub, apologized Dali, is that cauliflowers are too small to prove this theory conclusively...

Silvers followed his win with a similar victory over Martha Raye. Last week, to prove it was no accident, he beat Uncle Miltie again. Bald, horn-rimmed Phil Silvers, 43, has been near the show-business top for years (as in Broadway's hit musicals, High Button Shoes and Top Banana}, but until his TV Phil Silvers Show (Tues. 8 p.m., CBS), he had never quite scored a national success. He is still bitter...
