Vinton crushed Roy Anderson, 6-3, 6-1, at number four, and Lemann, playing fifth, came back after dropping the first set to beat Don LeWin, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, in one of the afternoon's most interesting matches.

He goes right on producing adaptations while claiming to prefer originals, bolsters his shows with big-name stars (a technique he says he deplores), and brightens a commendable number of evenings with some of the best, most tastefully produced shows television has to offer.
