...sets of From These Roots could not disguise the detergent flavor. But, with its still faintly unrealistic air, color does enliven the pseudo-realism of daytime drama, and did so for the fourth Purex Special for Women, which soap-operatically explored the fate of the modern spinster. Color also lent visual interest to such ordinary dry items as News of the Day, which included the first fully tinted tour of President Kennedy's redecorated office...
...Murray, decided to warn the public by putting on a special show of fake Turners along with some originals. The idea quickly spread to other departments, and even to collectors and connoisseurs on the outside. Art Historian Sir Kenneth Clark contributed a 17th century unicorn horn; Sir Alister Hardy lent his mummified mermaid. From the museum's storerooms came the famed fabricated Piltdown man (TIME, Nov. 30, 1953), an Etruscan sarcophagus that was once the pride of the departments of antiquities, and the bust of Julius Caesar that graced the pages of Latin textbooks everywhere until...

Because of apparent differences on policy with the network brass, he took a sabbatical in 1959, popped up again last year to take on a new documentary...
...Cambodia, relaxing in the "Villa of the Mango Trees" lent him by the Cambodian royal family, former Premier Prince Souvanna Phouma blamed his country's troubles on one man: J. ("Jeff") Graham Parsons, Assistant Secretary of State for Far Eastern Affairs and former Ambassador to Laos. "The ignominious architect of a disastrous United States policy," fumed Souvanna. "He understood nothing about Asia and nothing about Laos." According to Souvanna, Parsons "angered" the Russians into intervening by trying to make a militantly anti-Communist state out of Laos. (The prince had no regrets about his own crucial decision...
