...eloquence and too weary for anger. The rest of the cast is almost uniformly inept. Horatio is played like a lost Boy Scout, Gertrude as a matronly simp and Ophelia as an epileptic. Only Richard Easton's Claudius has the dignity of a solid stage presence, and Philip Minor's First Gravedigger has wry antic authority. In view of his acting and directing, perhaps Ellis Rabb should really be listed as the First Gravedigger...
...pages of instructions. Someone in the department calculated that if the study were to last a year, it would cost Justice 66,000 man-hours, or $534,000. CBS Commentator Eric Sevareid was amused by a time-sheet category called "de minimis time," which is supposed to include all minor interruptions.

The dollar, buoyed by last year's slight surplus in the usually deficit-ridden U.S. balance of payments, is stronger than at any time in recent memory.
