...largely overborne by Apaches, mesas of filmed cacti and a soporific script. On G.E. Theater's The Bitter Choice, Anne Baxter was hopelessly involved-and tearily terrible-as an Army nurse whose deliberate anger was supposed to scalpel through a G.I.'s shell of apathy. As Social Lioness Dolly Madison trying to make a Washington comeback, a bespectacled and bewigged Bette Davis had her moments on Ford Theater, but Bette's vehicle, Footnote on a Doll, was far too rickety for the big Potomac.

What enables the staff to go on is the knowledge that the children have been more sinned against than sinning. There is the little boy who has never been heard to utter a word...
...present, the Program and its Seminar are largely autonomous, with only nominal supervision by a Faculty committee, composed of members of various departments in the area of social sciences.
