...distinguished by the fact that just about nobody believed it. According to the network, the brothers had failed to hand over a tape of their April 6 show to CBS censors by a Wednesday deadline (TIME, April 11). When it did appear, said CBS, the tape contained a "sermonette" segment that was in poor taste. Tom Smothers pointed out that: 1) there is no Wednesday-deadline provision in the contract; 2) the tape was submitted to the CBS Los Angeles office on Wednesday anyway; 3) the brothers had agreed to snip the offending sermonette.

Congress, until recently amenable to almost any proposal from the military...

Today was to be a big day in the final New Hampshire shooting of the second segment of Prophetic Pictures, Eleanora. We were going to shoot some scenes on the highway during the day, at a horse stable in the afternoon, then Nora's ghost scene at night...
