...strange job for a man who has often blasted television's tiresome clichés. The new show had them all: a panel of experts, guest contestants, talent acts, a big cash prize ($1,000), dancing cigarette packages (Old Golds) and a studio crowd slavishly applauding everything in sight, including the commercials. In repartee with the amateur panelists (a device Groucho Marx has used with immense success) Allen's gift for ad lib is supposed to shine forth. Shine it did on the first show, but all too briefly in the half-hour clutter of people and performance...
...ordered. Carlo, now 46, grey, and suffering from tuberculosis, was brought from jail. Squinting in the bright sunlight, he marveled to see that Vesuvius no longer wore the pennant of smoke he had known until his imprisonment; nobody had told him it stopped smoking nine years ago. A panel of ten judges listened to the impassioned pleading of Lawyer Augenti, the evidence of 35 witnesses. A fortnight ago they acquitted...
...winds would permit-speed or distance contests, round trips, one-way flights or triangular-course races. The committee decided on a 62-mile triangular route. Into his French-built Air 102 glider stepped a foreign contestant, France's youngish (25) Gerard Pierre. As he checked his instrument panel, ground crewmen raised his single-wheeled craft's grounded wingtip and clamped a tow cable to its fuselage. Nearly a half-mile downwind, a 115 h.p. winch roared up and began to reel in the long steel cable, slowly at first, finally at a screaming speed...
...Pygmies of the upper Nile (opposite page, bottom) broke with tradition. Like many late Pompeian artists, he found a sketchy, exaggerated, caricaturing approach best suited to his age. His somewhat bloodthirsty and hurried cartoon seems remarkably contemporary in the 20th century - it might almost be mistaken for a panel from a. comic strip. The similarity is probably no accident. Things were speeding up around Pompeii. Even resort life was getting pretty hectic. Old standards were being abandoned, the new was hastily sought, and there was a sense of permanent danger in the air. The gods, speaking through Mt. Vesuvius...
Anyone Can Win (alternate Tues. 9 p.m., CBS-TV) has as many electric score-keeping gimmicks as a pinball machine, and features Cartoonist Al Capp as a wisecracking moderator who fires questions at a guest panel, including a mystery guest disguised as one of Capp's comic-strip characters (currently Hairless Joe). The show has a particularly noisy studio audience because each member holds a ticket with the name of one of the four panelists, and the backers of the winning contestant divide $2,000.
