...Steve Allen scribbled a note to ABC's top Cowpoke James (Maverick) Garner, 29. "Somebody told me you carry a .45. and I got pretty scared. I thought it was your rating." It darn near was. Maverick Garner was giving Allen and his fellow TV Titan Ed Sullivan plenty to worry about on the Sunday-at-8 spot. Last week, for the fifth time. Maverick (7:30 to 8:30) outrode both of them in the Trendex derby-for what that is worth (and to TV and ad moguls it still seems to be worth millions). Also, Maverick...
...distinguished audience of hypersonic-flight experts to deliver the prestigious Wright Brothers Lecture. For Speaker H. Julian Allen of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, the honor was well timed. That morning Avco Manufacturing Corp. announced that it had devised a blunt-nose cone for the Air Force ICBM Titan. Originator of the blunt-nose concept: Dr. "Harvey" Allen, one of the most brilliant and colorful of the nation's flight scientists...
...that I am very pleased with the review of the Casals film would be putting it mildly. I suddenly realize that the "source" of this film-river was TIME, Jan. 30, 1950, which carried not only a glowing review of The Titan under CINEMA, but also a brilliant account in the Music section called "The Exile of Prades."

In the course of promoting...
...film, commissioned by Manhattan's Mannes College of Music and made by Art-Film Producer Robert Snyder (The Titan), attempts to summarize in 28 minutes a day in the life of the 80-year-old Spaniard who is regarded by many musicians as the greatest cellist of all time. The camera briefly inspects the little town of Prades in the French Pyrenees, where Casals, until his recent move to Puerto Rico, made his home, calls at the gatehouse he lived in, watches the master give a lesson ("Don't think too much, just feel it"), and then settles...
...matter of economy. Though the Navaho showed promise (about 2,300 m.p.h. speed, high altitude and 5,000-mile range), it was designed to carry bulky atomic weapons, and it is still years from production. Now with more compact warheads and with better missiles such as the Atlas and Titan ICBMs, which travel at 16,000 m.p.h. coming along more rapidly than expected, the Navaho would probably be obsolete before it ever got into operational use. Instead, the Air Force decided to produce Northrop's pilotless Snark bomber, a much slower (650 m.p.h.) but more nearly operational missile...
