...Steve Allen, and the consternation of CBS and Ed Sullivan, the battle of Sunday at 8 (TIME, July 9) took an unexpected turn.

In Charlotte, N.C. he deeply impressed the local Observer's observer: "Presley burst onto the stage, staggering and flailing like a moth caught in a beam of light." Flouncing down to Charleston, S.C., the twitchy bobby-soxers' twitchy idol made an even deeper impression upon the press. The local News & Courier sent one of its newshens, customarily safe in its education department, to try to talk to Presley and photograph him. As she aimed...
