Like its successful parent, Truth trades more on parlor fun than private largesse, encouraging its 25 million viewers to get their vicarious thrills by playing Hawkshaw at home. The trick is for the panel of four (Polly Bergen, Kitty Carlisle, Ralph Bellamy, Hy Gardner) and home viewers to tell the real McCoy from a trio that includes two impostors or "side men." Each of the panelists is permitted a few questions to separate the cheats from the right chap, but the liars usually put on a more convincing act than the real item or "central character," and their own occupations...
...seen the goal get turned, but fans in Detroit's Olympia Stadium agreed on an explanation: while they were watching the Red Wings organize their attack, Faille had put his shoulder to the net and shoved.

These interludes do not leave a great amount of time available for events, and since there are over a hundred contestants, there are a lot of actionless days for the cowboys...
...Typo Trick. This fourth U.S.-published novel by Heinrich Boll (Adam, Where Art Thou? The Train Was on Time), best of Germany's postwar novelists, needs all his skill to emerge convincingly from a clumsy translation. A typographical trick of frequently capitalizing phrases and sentences, sometimes to convey the thoughts of children, sometimes for no discernible reason...
