Selling for $5.98 apiece, the two "photomensional" albums (a dozen old and new songs in each) are packaged in bakery boxes, the sort crumb cake comes in. Visible through a large round cellophane inset are F. & F.'s Vinylite heads, whose unblemished cheeks are supposed to feel like skin but actually feel like soapstone and smell like Mr. Clean. Each idol is mounted on a cardboard plaque covered with artificial suede and can be hung by a brass ring on a bedroom wall...

...sets by Horace Armistead were only acceptable-broad flights of steps climbing to looming, grey prison walls inset with barred gates and slit windows. The effect was foursquare, or perhaps just square, except for one good touch: a huge grid of prison bars spanned the stage and rose slowly as the light came up on the liberation scene. But the rest of Director Herbert Grof's production was dull and conventional.

To its door last week paraded a steady file of visitors, intent on paying their respects to the erect, shock-haired old man who lives there in semiseclusion. At 83, Berlin-born Conductor Bruno Walter had achieved one of the triumphs of a memorable career: his second complete recording of the nine Beethoven symphonies. At various times, mostly in the 1940s and '50s, Walter had made other recordings of the nine. But Columbia decided on a repeat performance with latest recording techniques, including stereo...

...students of "Natural Philosophy" watched planets on long arms circle about a 4 ft. universe. The sun and moon moved in their appointed orbits; hands pointed to the proper phase of the zodiac marked on a brass ring that encircled the painted, deep-blue sky. Near the top, an inset dial indicated the day, the year and the hour. To Scottish-born John Witherspoon, Presbyterian theologian and sixth president of the college, the ornate mechanism both illustrated the majesty of the Lord's work and satisfied scientific inquiry...
