Half the adult population in the isles bets, and individuals wager an average of 60? a week. Last year the gambling outlay amounted to 81,540,000,000. The favorites: $980 million on horse racing, $336 million on dog racing, and $207 million on football pools...
...anxious to develop and popularize the ancient art of hack writing. Matinee next season begins a series of five one-hour plays a week (Monday through Friday, 3 p.m., E.D.T.) every week of the year. The 260 plays yearly require, according to NBC, an initial $1,000,000 outlay, 4,000 actors, 20 directors, five permanent production units and 100 writers and adapters. This one show is the theatrical equivalent of five fully staffed repertory companies, with salaries and audiences guaranteed...
