There is a school of thought which holds that bullfight bores are more deserving of ball-bat anesthesia than jazz bores, but this school is wrong. A bullfight bore may re-enact Manolete's death spasms, but a jazz bore will replay the same Charlie Parker record, with contrapuntal commentary, until his woofer melts. The public ear has been grievously bent, and therefore any novel about jazzmen that is fresh, authentic and ungummed by cultism is an achievement...
Leading the turnaway were such longtime Eisenhower champions as the Montgomery Advertiser, which rebuked Ike for provoking a ''new pitch of sectional animosity," and the Nashville Banner, which damned him for turning the South into a "zone of occupation for a replay of Reconstruction." The Ike-minded Dallas News trumpeted that a Southern governor is now "a satrap-on-sufferance, removable or jailable on the order of a carpetbag judge." "CAESARISM," shrilled one of six anti-Eisenhower editorials in a single issue of the Charleston News and Courier...
...complex team operation. Almost as important to the show as Murrow is big (6 ft. 2 in.), bustling Co-Producer Fred W. Friendly, 43, who went to work with him eleven years ago after proposing the idea for their I Can Hear It Now, a replay from the recording files of voices and history of 1932-45, brought out by Columbia Records.

Some of Paar's gentle mockery was a replay of old summer material, e.g., his radio-announcer bloopers ("We have just the furniture to seat your nudes"), and reliable chestnuts like "Bring something round-we'll have a ball." But Paar's low-toned impudence and highhanded wit often came off engagingly. Reading off late news bulletins...
...newest hillbilly darling, Jimmy Dean, will continue his weekday morning show and also move into CBS's "new talent spot" on Saturday night at 10:30-a bonus for having clobbered NBC's Today in the ratings. TV's best drama factory, Playhouse 90, will replay only the shows it originally did on film, all of them poor. The one CBS experiment will be Monday night's Studio One Summer Theater, a sort of summer-stock version of the regular Studio One, returning live shows with new acting and directing talent.
