...Manic Depression. Health hints were scattered throughout the week in TV's typical buckshot fashion. Omnibus showed the staccato heartbeat of a pretty girl suddenly confronted by a spider, moments later probably scared more viewers than it enlightened with a closeup film sequence of a delicate heart operation. Medic used Lee J. Cobb to illustrate the dangers of manic depression in the case of a bachelor bank clerk. The Search, explaining that marriage produced so many problems because it was the most complex of all human relationships, blamed most failures on the lack of adequate communication between husband...

Last spring, on the Met tour, he took the character to half a dozen psychologists for analysis, wrote his findings for the current Musical America magazine. His own theory: Boris was a hysteric and a manic-depressive whose chest-heaving and temple-pounding came as natural results. His death, the cause of which is unclear in the libretto, was almost surely due to a cerebral hemorrhage. "Of course I didn't try to make a case history out of him," says Hines. "Once I understood...
