Gift from the Gods. It was not by any means Scarborough's only blow at the clamorous ambitions of Nye Bevan. He was soundly licked for party treasurer by his arch rival Hugh Gaitskell and, since he had deliberately refused to stand for sure re-election to the party executive, this left him without an official position in the party leadership for the first time in ten years...

NBC's most expensive, ambitious attack to date was Satins and Spurs, starring Betty Hutton, the first of a series of $300,000 "spectaculars" (telecast in color). Most critics gave it restrained applause, but after comparing the Trendex ratings of Satins (16.5) and its own Toast of the Town (34.6), CBS confidently launched its counterattack last week...
