Costly Effort. WCBS should grow out of its pains; in its three years, Chicago's WNUS has done anything but. Most of its monotonous news coverage, the product of a 23-man staff, sounds as though it were ripped off the wire-service ticker and read without the least editing.

...cast did not slalom through the comedy with such dazzling grace. Martin Balsam, in particular, can be wacky, pathetic, puzzled and convulsive in sequence. Whenever Playwright Anderson's comic invention turns paper thin, Director Alan Schneider unfurls it with blinding finesse so that the show remains a ticker-tape blizzard of hilarity...
