Holding the Lid. In proof of the line's amazing adaptability, Novotny tackled an embarrassing task: making his promised new explanation of the execution of Party Secretary Rudolf Slansky in 1952 for "activities against the state."

NBC's Producers' Showcase brought Broadway's Katharine Cornell to TV for her dramatic debut with her best-known vehicle, Rudolf Besier's 1931 hit, The Barretts of Wimpole Street. In telling the love story of bedridden Elizabeth Barrett and Poet Robert Browning, the play seemed to have a full set of strikes against it for a mass audience, since 1) it was about poets and poetry, 2) its problem could have been...
