...Nevada at Large. In 1952, taking advantage of a Democratic feud (powerful old U.S. Senator Pat McCarran was knif ing the Democratic candidate for the other Senate seat), Republican Clifton Young slid in by 771 votes. This year McCarran is supporting the party's ticket, and Young is in trouble...
...Swift & the Strong. If it had not been for sports, most TV sets could have been turned off last week with little loss. Dragnet, Mr. Peepers, Groucho Marx and a dozen other shows were still show ing repeat films to whoever happened to have missed them in the winter months.

Typical of Horizon's gnawing sense that the times are out of joint is Paul Goodman's Iddings Clark, a surrealistic tale of a mousy English teacher whose personality splinters until finally he enters his classroom "stark naked except for his spectacles...
Occasionally, the answers are fairly amusing, but the panel (Playwright Marc Connelly, Actor Carl Reiner, Singer Denise Lor) floundered a good deal on the open ing show and were saved only by the uninhibited Gallicisms of the guest panelist, Actress Denise Darcel...
