It pipes in some U.S. network shows (Hallmark Hall of Fame, Ed Sullivan Show, River boat) that blend suitably with its schedule, selling the advertising time to Canadian firms. CBS produces almost all the rest of its shows, and with two exceptions-Ford Startime (half of its programs are imported, half produced for Ford of Canada by CBC) and the CBC-produced General Motors Presents-a sponsor cannot even worm his name into a show...

In that time Virtuoso Isaac Stern, backed by the New York Philharmonic, worked his way through three separate concertos (Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, Brahms's Concerto for Violin and Cello, Alban Berg's Violin Concerto), giving each of them the luminous tone and the warmly lyric sentiment that are his specialties...
