Last week Eddy Arnold was on the road again. Only this time he rode up in a big Cadillac car to pick up $5,000 for an evening of pickin' and singin' at Manhattan's Carnegie Hall. What was a li'l ole country boy doing in a big fancy place like that? "This is the fulfillment of a lifetime dream," drawled Eddy, all fancied up in a tuxedo and string tie. Backed by a 17-piece orchestra, he sang about humpback mules, lonesome hearts and them old cottonfields back home in a mellifluous baritone that...
...CHINA: YEAR OF THE GUN? (ABC, 10-11 p.m.). A report based on recent visits to China by Western newsmen-the Toronto Star's Mark Gayn, Agence France Presse's Jacques Marcuse, Danish Photographer Ole Neesgaard (who shot some of the color footage)-as well as interviews with recently returned Korean War Defector Morris Wills, Authoress Han Suyin and Secretary of State Dean Rusk...

Although The Group's McCarthyish airs are trivial as sociology, more dazzling than deep as drama, no sorority party in years has dished out so much trenchant and exhilarating tattle...
...format is funny and the commercials (and their delivery) are for the most part very funny. Near the end of the play, each of the "heroes" reveals himself--Doc is a con man, Billy is a J.D., Wyatt felt it was his calling to murder, and Wild Bill, good ole Wild Bill, is queer. This skeleton rattling brought to mind the recent screen satire, Cat Ballou, but Mr. Oppenheimer's heroes are far more perverted, far too bitter. He doesn't laugh at the foibles of the Old West, he indicates that they were part of the rotten...
