...nonetheless, a grudging retreat, and its course was mined with restrictions that not only invited continued criticism from the press but limited the scope and effectiveness of the reporting job that Dulles finally conceded to be necessary, or at least inevitable. No cameramen-for press, newsreel or TV-will be allowed into China (although reporters may carry cameras). Representation will be limited to the big newspapers, magazines, wire services and broadcasting companies that 1) can now afford to maintain one "fulltime American correspondent overseas" and 2) are prepared to send one staffer for "six months or longer" to China...
...even with its pungent peccadillos and devious imbroglios, Giraudoux's theme is light and trite, his scope limited. As we found "Marivaudage," we find "Giraudoux-age"; Giraudoux's verbal and analytical virtuosity approaches the precious. He dallies for three hours with the ephemeral, and the eternal sentiments received eternal dissertations. Above all, Giraudoux's result is not entirely coincidental with his aims. Intellectual comedy such as this should address itself to the imagination and intelligence more than to the emotions, and determination of the inherent nature of reality and truth should attempt to dissociate to some little extent love from...

The newsmen objected to Dulles' proposed limitation on the size of the group because it ignored "technological" changes since the war, i.e., the growth of TV reporting. Also, argued the Holyoke (Mass.) Transcript-Telegram's William Dwight, president of the American Newspaper Publishers Association...
...Scope for Scope. Freberg, 31, is a very funny fellow who is clearly torn between his need for an audience and his desire to speak his mind. His orneriness was planed down over the past year when he and Producer-Writer Pete Barnum wrote and rewrote a long succession of TV shows for NBC. All were rejected because they lacked "scope." When the sardonic pair then submitted a new effort entitled Scope, NBC wished them a cold farewell...
