...audiences than mere "ratings." While it is true that there is some interplay of audience between the Ed Sullivan and Steve Allen programs, our research has shown that tune-outs are not excessive. We checked minute-by-minute viewing against the commercial placement for the night on which the particular study was made, and found no significant changes in levels of viewing at the times the commercials were presented. Therefore, your "sponsor-sobering conclusion, i.e., viewers are not looking at commercials in either case," is strictly unwarranted...
Bottles & Stones. A race between rivermen had more meaning when Mr. Doggett first donated his trophies. The Thames was London's main thoroughfare; some 40,000 wherries navigated its surface as modern taxicabs navigate the Strand. Theaters in particular relied on watermen to bring their audiences, and Doggett, an Irish comedian, had a very practical affection for the hard-working rowers. London sportsmen soon developed just as practical an affection for the race...
Jimmy Giuffre is a spare, soft-spoken Texan who distrusts the word jazz, but plays some of the best jazz to be heard these days-most of it of his own composition. Giuffre (pronounced joo-free) has broken the rules; he does not believe that jazz requires any particular combination of instruments, or that it needs a strong beat, or that its heart is improvisation.

Rain scraps this brand of opiated logic in favor of cold-turkey realism. The movie zeroes in on a nightmare that is real in tens of thousands of U.S. homes. This particular private hell is an apartment in a big Manhattan housing project. Don Murray is a jobless Korean veteran who, through some mischance of war, becomes addicted to morphine while under treatment in an Army hospital. Unaware that he is hooked, his pregnant wife (Eva Marie Saint) cannot fathom his jagged nerves, his remoteness, his all-night disappearances. Neither can his obtuse bartender father (Lloyd Nolan). But Murray...
...with the new line. In Leningrad barrel-chested Marshal Georgy Zhukov (see NATIONAL AFFAIRS), in a bottle-green uniform listing to port under a load of gold and silver orders, castigated the ousted Malenkov. Molotov, Kaganovich and Shepilov "antiparty group" for resisting progress. Orated Zhukov: "Its members objected in particular to the slogan: 'Catch up in the next few years to the United States in per capita production of meat, milk and butter,' put forward by the Central Committee on the initiative of Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev." Why? Because the anti-party group "had not wanted to give...
