...networks' highly competitive efforts to bag big names for TV portraits, CBS gets most of the major beats, e.g., Ed Murrow's interviews with Tito and Chou Enlai, Face the Nation's with Khrushchev. Last week NBC was in hot pursuit of its rival's lead. Hardly before the 121-gun salute to its liberator had stopped reverberating in Tunisia, NBC Commentator Chet Huntley had set up his lights and cameras in the tiled office of popular President Habib ("Beloved") Bourguiba. Wearing a dark Western business suit and a TV-blue shirt, greying, rock-jawed Bourguiba...
...week's end a beardless Pilot Steeves., visibly shaken, stood by his story. Said he: "They can't disprove my story. How can they? Are they going to interview animals? Things happen miraculously to people in this day and age. I don't have anything to hide." Stationed at Boiling Air Force Base at Washington. D.C.. where he is undergoing tests in preparation for an instructorship in survival for airmen, Steeves waved emptily at the brandnew grey Jaguar he bought shortly before his famed adventure. "Look.

In Djakarta last week, distressed by Communist gains and Sukarno's methods, sat Premier Djuanda Karta-widjaja, an able administrator who has been in virtually every Indonesian Cabinet since 1949. In his first interview with a foreign correspondent since taking office, Djuanda made it quietly clear last week to TIME Correspondent James Bell that he does not recognize the legality of Sukarno's Communist-infested super-council. Said Djuanda: "You must remember that the Constituent Assembly still sits in Bandung. Hence, the solutions...
This week's show was another melange, at once funnier and tamer than the first. Freberg's interview with an Abominable Snowman ("I'm 10½ ft. tall, but you should see my brother! He jumped center for Abominable State") had a deadpan quality equal to the best of Bob and Ray; he slipped a little in a talk with a sculptress, recovered nicely in a blackout skit about a maniacal phonecaller. The only item in the show that might have disturbed the most timid network vice president was a one-minute "Behind History" skit about Barbara...
