...enthusiasm in the Kennedy camp down to the Kennedyites' characteristically aggressive confidence, then rated the enthusiasm as just bandwagon psychology, finally conceded that the spirit was based on a clear expectation of victory. Kennedy workers cautioned one another against overconfidence. Kennedy himself, observed New York Post Columnist Murray Kempton, acted "as though the campaign were over and there remained only the thanking of the troops...
...appeared as a mere spot of red light flashed last week on a screen. But scientists of Bell Telephone Laboratories at Murray Hill. N.J. are sure their new gadget, called a maser. from which the light came, will lead to astonishing things. The waves of red light moved exactly in step; other light is helter-skelter. The waves kept to the same razor-edged frequency; other light is a mixture of frequencies. They formed a slender pencil beam that hardly spread out at all. If they had marched to the moon-240,000 miles-they would have covered less than...
...short bursts a few millionths of a second apart, and they make a flash that lasts less than a thousandth of a second. But the light is incredibly bright and concentrated. When Bell scientists set up the maser at Holmdel, N.J. and pointed its beam to hit the Murray Hill laboratory 25 miles away, the red flashes could be clearly seen with the naked eye, and they registered strongly on photomultiplier tubes. Bell Labs, whose primary interest is in communication, looks forward to perfecting long-reaching maser beams that could carry everything from telephone chatter to as many...
Such a play requires a sympathetic production. Every step in Blanche DuBois' self-destruction must be carefully prepared for; the audience must be made to understand, to feel, the process of decay at work.

...condemn the actors, who struck me as a competent lot. Joan DeWeese, as Blanche, acted the final mad scene with aloof dignity. It is Mr. Murray's fault, I think, that she never revealed her sensuality, her nymphomaniacal craving after Stanley Kowalski. Mitch Ryan, as Kowalski, was splendidly grubby, violent, and stupid, but he too never quite seemed the sexually potent animal he should have been. His movements around the stage were sometimes those of a normal human being, sometimes those of an ape, and sometimes those of a wind-up toy on the blink. Mrs. Kowalski, Blanche's sister...
