DANNY THOMAS SPECIAL (NBC, 9-10 p.m.).* "The Road to Lebanon" has Thomas teaming up with Bing Crosby for a "Road . . ." parody. Claudine Auger, Hugh Downs and Sheldon Leonard are posted along the route, and Bob Hope makes a brief appearance-to protest...
...goes well, a satellite will be launched into a 500-mile-high polar orbit. It will carry a virtually perfect gyroscope-one that is almost completely free from friction, gravitational pull or magnetic fields. If the general relativity theory is correct, according to calculations made by Stanford University Physicist Leonard Schiff, the gyroscope should precess-change the direction of its axis of rotation-about 1/500th of a degree each year that it is in orbit. This gradual and almost imperceptible change would be caused by the continuous passage of the gyroscope through Einsteinian space, which is "warped" by the earth...
SIBELIUS: SYMPHONY NO. 5 (Columbia). Leonard Bernstein, conducting the New York Philharmonic, is at his best in the expansive, triumphal affirmation of the last movement but, in spite of mighty swells of sound, seems a little somnolent in the andante (where Von Karajan, on Deutsche Grammophon, creates a brooding tension). Bernstein has more overall success in the rich tone poem Pohjola's Daughter, about a maiden who sits high on a rainbow preferring, for some reason, to weave rather than be wooed...
...stand in the way of direct French investment in U.S. firms, which now stands close to $200 million, plus at least $1 billion worth of stock-and-bond holdings. State-controlled Compagnie Francaise des Petroles, the ninth largest oil company in the world, has just bought one-third of Leonard Refineries, Inc., a Michigan-based independent oil company with 800 retail outlets and 1,200 miles of pipeline, as an entering wedge into the rich U.S. market. Petroles plays the game with some reverse chauvinism based on its European brand name. Total: its Delaware subsidiary, which bought into Leonard...
...troublesome score and libretto of Trouble in Tahiti isn't worth the trouble. Leonard Bernstein's pretentiously modern one-act opera is an attack on hollow suburbia. Even in 1952, when it was written, that was a boringly standard iconoclasm. The music is generally wearisome, the libretto, also written by Bernstein, generally clumsy...
