...Jacob Gruber, a New York lawyer representing a client under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission, persuaded a switchboard operator in an SEC office to plug him in on calls to another SEC office. Sentence: a year and a day in prison, $1,000 fine. The operator drew a suspended sentence...
Everything can be seen and heard simultaneously by as many as 75 visitors in the adjacent lecture hall. Seated in movie-house chairs, they watch the operation in color on TV repeaters, and see the same charts that the surgeon sees. They plug an electric stethoscope into an outlet in the chair arm. Through this they hear the sound of the patient's heart just as the surgeon does.

John Forsythe is subtle and easy, a sort of walking diploma from V.M.I. William Demarest manages to wear a week's grizzle, chaw the plug and prospect for laughs without sounding too much like Gabby Hayes. And William Holden again suggests that he is the most versatile leading man in Hollywood. In the last year he has played, and played well, a carefree young worldling (The Moon Is Blue), a heel with a heart...
