...VIOLENCE. Potentially interesting subjects, especially when you're talking about television. Robert Wood, one-time president of CBS, for example, vetoes a script for The Waltons because it describes (in lurid and graphic detail) Mary Ellen's "confused reaction to her first menstrual period." Lee Grant--Phyllis to sitcom junkies-- asks her daughter whether she lost her virginity on a ski weekend with a group of teenagers. "The subject matter was simply unacceptable for Family Viewing. It dealt too directly with sex." CBS editors jokingly called the episode--which the writer titled "Bess, Is You a Woman Now,"--"Did Bess...

...financially drained; the lawyers get paid by the hour. But in the much ballyhooed case of Marvin vs. Marvin, the roles were, for once, reversed. Michelle Triola Marvin said she was happy because the judge awarded her $104,000 to "reeducate" herself and gain new skills.

A lot of smart choices have been made, the brightest of all being the casting of Robert Duvall and Lee Remick as the leads. Duvall may not look much like Ike-the top of head notwithstanding-but he cuts a forceful figure. His Eisenhower is unfailingly decent, corny, shrewd: a first-rate general who would later grow into a caretaker President. Remick does not resemble Summersby too much either, but who cares...
