CINDERELLA (CBS, 7:30-9 p.m.).* Broadway tunesmiths who try to write original musical comedies for TV almost always fail, and Rodgers and Hammerstein were no exception, although this repeat should have a certain charm for the kids...
...fiscal year. To prod British industry into selling more abroad, the government devised a new system of capital-investment grants and formed a commission to promote mergers among companies that are too small to compete on an international scale. If these tonics fail, Whitehall will prescribe stronger medicine.

The misguided innocence of Alden Pyle in The Quiet American gave that book its point; the same quality now in Presidential Candidate Smith makes no detectable point at all. Brown's tormented alliance with another man's wife duplicates the plot of The End of the Affair, but not its impact. Greene's prevailing climate of disillusionment pervades The Comedians-but as a kind of emotional weather report...
