Besides, record companies have a heavy investment in disk recordings. But to go on gratifying the old record-buying public, manufacturers will probably have to come up with something that does not yet exist -a practical, marketable disk offering four-channel sound of quadrisonic tape. The technical problem-essentially how to squeeze four channels into one groove and then play them off again with high fidelity-has long seemed insoluble. Last week...

It is heartwarming only for its familiarity: Dan Dailey is not only a struggling public servant, but also a widowed and overweight father who must bridge the chasm between himself and his 23-year-old daughter J.J. (Julie Sommars). The only praiseworthy thing about the show is that CBS, following an enlightened new policy, allowed it-and their other shows -to be seen and reviewed by the press in advance of air time-a practice that NBC and ABC refuse...
