...product sells chiefly because it is first with the best. His first show, in 1948, introduced a young comedy team named Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. Since then, he has presented the U.S. TV debut of such performers as Edith Piaf, Clark Gable, Maria Callas, Humphrey Bogart, Jackie Gleason, Marian Anderson, Julie Andrews, Rudolf Nureyev and Margot Fonteyn, and the Beatles, not to mention such oddities as Liberace and Rise Stevens singing...

...sense that military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. His professors are interested in order, not in knowledge; most of his fellow students are toadies and bullies who pervert the authority over them by victimizing those under them. In Tor-less' class, the chief victim is Basini (Marian Seidowsky), a dim-witted boy who steals some money and then finds himself blackmailed into blind obedience by his discoverers. Nightly, in an attic over the dormitory, the two young extortionists sadistically beat Basini, who submits to every indignity with the passivity of a pack horse...

Antigones are rare, but Ismenes are a dime a dozen. Jane Farnol brings a good deal of warmth to the role of Antigone's devoted and solicitous old nurse.

They are hard-drinking, vulgar-tongued, card-playing...

...resist making fun of his Castilian accent. She should talk! Much later, when she is identified by Lorenzo through her voice only, her comment-- "He knows me as the blind man knows the cuckoo,/By the bad voice." -- is far from the witticism she intends. Her confidante Nerissa, as Marian Hailey plays her, comes over as rather strident. Jerry Dodge tries hard as young Gobbo, and Tom Lacy vastly overplays old Gobbo; it is, anyhow, well-nigh impossible to salvage their scene, which is one of the unfunniest comic scenes ever written by a genius...

...doorstep. When St. Louis Public Relations Man Harry Wilson has an important news item for the press, he is torn between releasing it in time for the morning Globe-Democrat or the afternoon Post-Dispatch-either way, one of the papers is sure to squawk. When Globe Food Editor Marian O'Brien was writing a column recently, she got carried away by the combative sense of loyalty that seems to infect both dailies: "Our paper is so different from its so-called competition that I have readers come up to me and say they couldn't face...
