Secure in his top rank among contemporary U.S. composers of symphonic music, Aaron Copland last week took the plunge into opera. Shy about his venture, Veteran (53) Composer Copland first thought of launching The Tender Land (a story of the rural Midwest) far from the calloused ears of Manhattan critics ("I thought maybe Canada"). Then came an irresistible offer to open it at the New York City Opera, and Copland gave...
...Chicago, the weekly magazine TV Today began listing the shows it thinks unfit for the tender eyes and ears of youngsters.

The men were also whipped and then chained to the walls of their cells. All twelve were released when Ben Youssef was deposed as Sultan. Previous victims of similar punishments died in their...
Skelton's supporting cast is excellent. Dorothy Stickney, as a ginned-away shop lifter redeemed by delusions of mother hood, is enormously funny. Cara Williams, the love interest, plays it tough and tender with equal sureness as a little Miss Wrong who is waiting for big Mr. Right. And Kurt Kasznar is just about perfect as a pillar of the pool hall trying to act like a paterfamilias...
