...foremost photographers of microscopic life, the 70-year-old biologist and zoologist developed a method called "colorization." With this unique process, he transforms scientific subjects into an art show while examining the complex life of microorganisms. Dr. Vishniak's life and work are put under the TV microscope in this color special...
...least one day a week, TV Boss Harlech switches media to the cinema, fulfilling duties that make his signature mandatory on every film shown in Britain. As a censor, he complains, "You get criticized no matter what you do." In fact, Britain picks as its censors men whose judgments are unlikely to attract criticism, and Harlech has come in for little of it from either the public or the industry. No film buff, he views only the films that his staff screens out as controversial, recently decreed minor cuts in Ulysses and Fanny Hill...
Knight's dailies are all locally oriented. "I would rather miss the big national story," says Beacon Journal Publisher and Executive Editor Ben Maidenburg. "The reader is going to get that on TV or the New York Times or the newsmagazines. I would rather get that Rotary Club meeting or the Junior Chamber of Commerce story instead."

Sniffs a Boston dentist, whose whole family rides English, outfitted in boots, breeches and hard hats: "After all, if you ride, you should...
...current plight of American drama reflects attrition of imagination rather than Philistine commercialism. The leading playwrights are faltering or repetitive. Films, TV and advertising have lured away young potential dramatists, thus giving volatile intellectual fashionmongers an excuse to depict the theater as enervating or backward. One barometer of the theatrical weather is the latest work of the best U.S. playwrights. For more than two decades, Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams have dominated the American stage in much the way that Hemingway and Faulkner once dominated the novel. Miller is dramatically the descendant of Ibsen and socioeconomically the child of Marx...
