Classic Soof. For further evidence that plot progression is not essential for TV, the McLuhanites cite the classic goof on CBS in 1965. The network was running a Hollywood movie, The Notorious Landlady. Inadvertently, a technician played two of the three reels out of sequence. Twenty-one million people watched the show, but the network got only a peep of protest...
With a weekly budget of $150,000 and a vast network of talent scouts, Sullivan's 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...

In New York, there are works outside at Lincoln Center...
...seven workmen have been saw ing, painting, sweating and swearing in the museum's basement and on the main floor. Slowly the massive open construction took on the shape dictated by Smith's original small-scale cardboard model; each part was hinged together to form a baroque network of flowing spaces, held together primarily by tension and hauled into place by hoists. Now installed, the full-scale model cost $6,000; a metal version would have gone as high...
