...Freddie, as he was known in Mayfair society, dreamed of independence. In 1953 the British rashly hustled him off into exile in London, had to back down when the Baganda threatened to become completely unmanageable. In 1955, as drums rolled and tom-toms boomed, King Freddie came home in triumph...
...Desi and Lucy, the trip to the RKO lot was at once a sentimental journey and an ironic triumph. It is where they met, fell in love-and left in the early '40s under the shadow of Desi's dropped option. Since then, babyfaced. Cuban-born Desi has become not only half of TV's most popular comedy team, but the self-made boss of a company that produces, or takes a hand in producing, 27 TV shows.* This year on three different lots Desilu will grind out 270 hours of filmed television entertainment-more than twice...

His mind and personality are quicksilver; there is a nowhere, now-there quality to his thinking and actions that bewilders his friends and enrages his foes...
...critic, the New York World-Telegram and The Sun's Louis Biancolli, confessed that the last act had reduced him to tears. Such weeping not withstanding, it was not the greatest Otello in Met history. Nor did it have the special attraction of Maria Callas (who scored a triumph the following night as the most convincing and moving Tosca of her time). Otello was merely excellent-and significant precisely because it was the kind of topnotch production that Rudolf Bing's Met can mount any night of the week it has a mind...
