...Bottom. Firemen stretched aerial ladders to the ship's sides, played hoses on people burning alive at the rails. One man climbed down, moaning "No, no, no, no!" He fought police who tried to lead him away from the pier, shouted: "I've got seven people on that ship!" Another had a grisly blob stuck to his hands: he had tried to beat out the flames in a woman's hair, had come away with part of her scalp...
Last week, spurred by their television success (they averaged third in the Hooperatings), the Goldbergs were back on radio (Fri. 8 p.m., CBS) after a three-year lapse, doing a weekly repeat of the TV show. It adds seven more hours of rehearsal time to the 26 already required, but only minor editing of the TV script is required for radio. "I'm writing just the way I've always written," says Gertrude Berg. "The only difference is that you can sustain a scene longer on TV. In radio, you break up short scenes with musical bridges...
...Fred Daly. Said Mangrum after 18 holes: "This Irishman is tough; I had a 65 and I'm only one up."

Mrs. Dorothy Germain...
Beginning with the rusty old excuse of a fire at sea, Lagoon beaches two little British tykes, aged seven and eight, on a deserted, gorgeously Technicolored island. Twelve years later, the girl (Jean Simmons) and boy (Donald Houston) are still trying to thumb a ride back to civilization. Meanwhile they have put together an attractive, cabana-type dwelling in a palm tree, a charming dinner set out of coconut shells and assorted Polynesian oddments, and some fetching tree-bark sarongs for Jean. Unfortunately for the audience, the young couple has long since run out of anything interesting to talk about...
