"We feel it's important," said Tommy, "to stay and continue to push for new standards of broadcast content." That same week, CBS-TV President Robert Wood wired the brothers: "You are not free to use the show as a device to 'push...

The company's lavish costumes, liberally splashed with gold and feathered beyond a peacock's fondest hopes, would stun the senses even if they were worn by mannequins. The 90 traveling members of the troupe-dancers, singers and instrumentalists-are considerably more than that...
...theatre in which Blood Knot is being given is a relic from the age of movie palaces. A second-story rotunda gapes above the lobby and fleurs-delis peel from the dome over the stage. There are new pastel stripes painted on the lobby floor, but the heart of the place is in decay. So the theatre, and so the Country...
