...crisis. Producers Robert Drew and Associates seem to feel, not illogically, that men--and the problems they face--make events. "Crisis," therefore, is an ingenious interweaving of portraits and problems. With monologue, dialogue, or a single frame of the camera, Drew's technique can lend insight into men who shape events. He captures Robert Kennedy on the telephone. "Hi General," he begins; "Listen, I'm not very much in favor of picking the Governor up and lifting him away. I'd rather just push him aside a little." His voice is almost childish; his energy is magnetic...
...half speed for the Holy Cross game. As it turned out, he carried the ball 16 times, caught five passes, and scored one touchdown. In fact, Spangenberg leads the Dartmouth team in running, pass receiving punting, and returning kickoffs. He, along with the two guards, will be in perfect shape Saturday...

("Electric Charlie") Wilson as chief executive in 1950 and promptly ordered the most drastic reorganization in G.E.'s 71-year history. Cordiner did not radically change the product mix, which is spread almost equally among heavy electrical equipment, electronics, consumer goods and defense orders (G.E. is the fifth biggest defense contractor). But he decentralized operations and management, making each of 112 department managers a minor president with responsibility...
