AMONG the most robust of U.S. politicians is Mississippi's 74-year-old Governor Hugh White, who was stricken with coronary thrombosis in 1938, while serving his first term in office. (He was elected again in 1951.) Eleven weeks later, White went back to work. "I had a special session of the legislature on at the time," White recalls, "and the next year I was out stumping all over the state, trying to get Senator Bilbo's seat in Washington.

But the committee is worried about the opposite possibility: that...
Across the Board on Tomorrow Morning exhibits by far the best acting of the evening. In the difficult part of a philosophical waiter who steps out of character to acts as commentator, Arthur Lewis gives a polished and confident performance. He is not at all stricken with the curse of uncertainty common in many amateur actors. Martin Mintz, who portrays a cab driver, shows a similar surety, and also posses a seemingly instinctive sense of comedy and timing. A a somewhat irrational restaurant customer, Peter Hugen is less effective because he is not quite in control of either his voice...
