Despite shortcomings, the program deserved the unreserved raves it gathered from critics all across the country. In the field of television, marked with the molehills of situation comedies and look-alike-sound-alike adventure shows, Salesman loomed as nothing less than Olympian...
Ford's attack attracted little public attention until newsmen asked Senate Republican Leader Everett Dirksen what he thought about it. Dirksen, who had been en route to Mexico City with the President when Ford made his charges, made no attempt to hide his Olympian disapproval. "You don't," he said acerbically, "demean the Chief Magistrate of your country at a time like this when the war is on. You stand up to be counted."

Conductors, like all musicians, are often branded with easy epithets that distort far more than they illuminate. Detractors of Toscanini claim, "He is too fast, too harsh--though great at Verdi," which ignores the intuition behind his intensity.

Junior Neville Hayes, who has never lost in the 200-yard butterfly while at Harvard, will find some familiar tough company at the Easterns. There's Olympian Bill Mettler, whom Hayes edged by half a second at Yale last week; Army captain Frank Pratt, whose 1:58.2 is slightly higher than Hayes's seasonal best; and Princeton captain John Kalmach, who bowed to Hayes by two feet in the dual meet...
