Twain Vein. The Smotherses were obviously trying to draw CBS into open battle. Dick was at an auto show in New York, but Tom began the week by traveling to Toronto to watch the show on the independent Canadian TV network. Next day he flew to New York to screen the program for newsmen. Ironically, it was one of the Smotherses' best-produced shows, featuring Tommy and Singer Nancy Wilson in a parody of Nelson Eddy and Jeanette MacDonald ditties, several lively musical numbers, and ending with a tribute to Martin Luther King (not one of the networks...
Substituting Uggams. Although CBS remained grimly silent last week, the network had already made its position clear at recent Washington hearings. Lately, Senator John O. Pastore has been expressing concern over what he considers the violence and questionable moral content of TV shows. While CBS President Frank Stanton eloquently defended TV's right to free speech in Washington last month, he also assured Pastore's Senate Subcommittee on Communications that he would police his air waves with renewed vigilance.

Vista elegantly challenges the viewer to contemplate the precise differences between more than a dozen shades of pink...
...their pride. A large firm in Manhattan reports that only one-third of the students to whom it offered jobs in the past two years ultimately accepted them (v. about one-half in previous years). Wyman-Kuchel has found that many A students do not even bother to show up for campus interviews any more. Says Wyman: "Sometimes our recruiters come back and say, 'We didn't even see the top men because they weren't interested...
