Welcome Back. None dare call it show biz, but that new and less hard-newsy combination of interviews, news-you-can-use features and ad libbing is being watched closely by CBS and NBC, which now largely serve their news straight, thank you.

Then Lincoln turned to the plaintiff and said, "Mr. Fleming, instead of bringing suit against these surgeons, you should go on your knees and thank God and them that you have your leg.
