...Thin Man (Fri. 9:30 p.m., E.D.T., NBC). Though his own private eye is often trained on blondes, Nick Charles (Peter Lawford) has a pert wife named Nora (Phyllis Kirk) to whom he is professedly faithful, and a wire-haired terrier named Asta who is faithful to him. Genteel and wryly suave, Nick seldom tangles physically with the blackmailers, assassins and sundry evildoers whom he ferrets out with one hand while reaching for a martini with the other.

For weeks Republican Congressmen who dislike him (except in moments of panic) had been dropping into his White House office to moan about the kicks in the teeth they were getting from high-stepping Democrats. In addition, along with other White House aides, Adams had been doing a slow burn of his own over such Democratic slants as Harry Truman's remark that Eisenhower was a good general when he had someone else (i.e., Harry Truman) to tell him what to do (TIME, Jan. 20).
