...loudest promises of TV wonders to come were heard from NBC. The network promised more than 75 Spectacular-sized shows, almost twice the number of Spectaculars (39) that it produced during the past season. Among the wonders: a repeat of last season's successful Peter Pan; a two-hour telecast of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, starring Mary Martin and Helen Hayes; a musical version of the Pulitzer Prize play Our Town, starring Frank Sinatra; a series of one-and-a-half-hour Sunday afternoon productions of Shakespeare's plays, starring Maurice Evans...
...Reykjavik Isaac Stern wowed his audience-he had to repeat his recital in the 800-seat theater - but his success was a mere icicle on an iceberg, compared with the Russian effort. Every year the Soviet Union dispatches culture delegations containing four to ten fine artists, e.g., soloists from the Leningrad ballet, violinists, singers, pianists, even chess players, and once sent Composer Aram (Sabre Dance) Khachaturian to conduct Iceland's national symphony.

A stranger has to be used to her speech before he can under stand all she says. Her voice, however, was not "ghost-like" as a friend of mine suggested. Perhaps it becomes that when...
...First manufacturer to get a going-over was Detroit's Parke, Davis & Co. - largely, no doubt, because its vac cine so far had a spotless record and there was every reason to believe that the PHS would have good news about it. The in vestigating team did not repeat the whole testing procedure, which takes three months. Instead, it quizzed the technicians in the testing rooms. Team members not only again pored over the bulky "pro tocols" (elaborate reports from manufac turer to Washington, showing the result of every phase of every test); they also leafed through the underlying...
Labor's chance to repeat its 1945 upset exists in the statistics at least: habit and party regularity promise Labor and the Conservatives just about 12 million votes apiece for certain. With another 1,000,000 votes likely to be sprinkled among the Liberals and lesser parties, the election will turn on the decision of from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 independents...
