...Your article on color television is in gross error regarding Motorola price reduction. The 20-in. table model you reported reduced from $429 to $329 was actually reduced to $419. At the same time, Motorola introduced a less deluxe model...
Last week NBC won the rights to Oz by reportedly paying some $3,500,000 for the next five reruns. For NBC, even that price may be a bargain. The net work hopes to gross $1,000,000 from commercials for each rerun. The cut for Judy Garland and Oz's other 1939 stars: nothing.

Very much like a Beethoven concerto, the song winds up to introduce the solo instrument, which in this case happens to be Ringo's slightly flat voice.

The near-capacity crowds at Sanders during the past two Thursday nights suggest however, that Audio-Lab has yet to monopolize the listener's world. Last night Prof. Harold Schmidt of Stanford conducted the Summer School Chorus and Cantabrigia Orchestra in a program that was as varied in quality as it was in repertoire. Realizing that an entire evening of full chorus and orchestra would be a dubious effort on only...
