...Sunset Strip and Chester of Gunsmoke. He doesn't limp like Chester; he just trips a lot over his Italian accent. The remaining replacement series are game shows. The Generation Gap from David Susskind's Talent Associates, pits a team of three teen-agers against a trio of adults. The kids, it turned out, could not identify Eddie Cantor or the FCC. The fogeys didn't know an "axe" (a guitar) from a hole in the ground. Mostly the show just proved that people who appear on such programs have an intelligence gap. Finally, ABC is adding...
Harvard's light-weight wrestlers, who overcame Columbia's strength in the lower weight classes in last Saturday's 20-14 victory in New York, will face Springfield's toughest trio in the 130, 152, and 160-pound matches...
...Huskies have a strong edge in the sprints, but John Metzger, Bill McBride, and Ben Lounsbury will challenge Northeastern's hurdlers. The 600 matches Crimson speedsters Colburn and Tom Downer against Northeastern's smooth Mike Roberts.

But many prefer...
Wildly improbable as these goings-on may be, Novelist Stephen Jones has a gift for sweet and savage satire reminiscent of that unwholesome trio: Nikolai Gogol, Nathanael West and Samuel Beckett. His characters parody themselves in obsessive dead-end conversations, groping their way circularly past each other through muddled clouds of private thought and uncertain motive. In this first novel, his descriptions of hotels, restaurants, odd corners of small towns and the seedy people who inhabit them, haunt the mind's eye. Yet Jones' real talent is for making the improbable seem necessary and the grotesque plausibly humdrum...
