...King Farouk awarded her Egypt's highest civilian decoration, and she reciprocated by singing political songs, first, Farouk, May You Live Forever and later, for Nasser, Gamal and the Nile Are Creators of the Dam. When, in 1953, a black-bordered box in Egyptian newspapers reported that a hyperthyroid condition endangered her voice, no doctor in the Middle East dared to treat her for fear of damaging "Allah's treasure." At the invitation of the U.S. Government, she was treated successfully with isotopes at the Bethesda Naval Medical Center...
...Television, on the other hand, has stuck to a single standard: simple-minded cartoons for kids, simple-minded programs of every other variety for grownups. Now all that is changed. Television has brought the comics to adults. It comes in the form of Batman, a new twice-a-week hyperthyroid series on ABC. Produced with an enormous amount of pulp and circumstance, it has become an overnight smash...
Fonda makes frantic efforts to ring in a company lawyer, a doctor and a hyperthyroid magazine editor (Sandy Baron) to thwart the ultranatural-childbirth plot.

He seems doomed to traipse after gidgets until the apotheosis of the theme, which will doubtless be called Gidget Meets Tammy...
Nearly all the new shows are an hour long. So to outdo everybody, NBC has produced TV's first go-minute western, outdoing themselves as well. Called The Virginian and starring James Drury and Lee J. Cobb this fantastically hyperthyroid oat is only tenuously based on Owen null novel. The background is beautifully filmed in Wyoming in color, and, true enough, the dialogue rings. But the stories could happen in Flatbush, Beirut, or Port of Spain. A real western is an American commedia dell' arte, a stylized and inviolable cliche that is easily destroyed by subtlety and depth...
