...Affair begins, the High Tables of the university are still rocking with an intellectual scandal that will not down with the port. Donald Howard (Keith Baxter) has been judged guilty of scientific fraud, having apparently faked a research photograph in his fellowship thesis, and a court of dons deprives him of his fellowship. Since Howard is a boor whose better-Red-than-well-bred political stance and personality irked most of his colleagues, his departure is viewed as good riddance. But his spitfiery wife Laura (Brenda Vaccaro) is certain of his innocence, certain that he has been victimized...
...exploited the full potential of this new medium. That is, they have wanted to develop a new art form which could stand by itself, without heavy borrowing from related areas. Too often they have gone little beyond the scope of the legitimate theater; they have done little more than photograph a play heightened in its vividness by close-ups, mob scenes, fast-paced cutting and all the other techniques worked out over the last fifty years.

Struck by the fact that, as far as he knew, no photograph of the three living U.S. ex-Presidents existed, Utica Press Copy Editor Joseph Ray, of Oneida, N.Y., wrote the New York Herald Tribune that one ought to be made.

If so, Red Star's caption writer is clearly a man of imagination. His dramatic description of the scene began, "A mighty atom explosion neutralized the resistance of the enemy. Tank units moved swiftly forward at highest speed carrying out the orders of the commanders...
Where oh where can that battle horn be? The well-aled machinery of the Yard begins to ho-hum. "Police photographers" rush in, set up their cameras, photograph the police. Dragnets are spread. "Calling Car ii D. Turn left into Oxford Street . . . Calling Car 5 K. Turn right into Oxford Street." Crash! A few frames later a man's suit is found without a man in it. After exhaustive analysis, the lab releases its report: "This suit needs cleaning." Suddenly a stone comes flying through the window and lands on Quilt's desk. "Aha!" cries the master sleuth...
