...like the men who first set out to cross continents on foot and oceans in frail ships, the astronauts seemed undaunted by the danger and challenged by the unknown. "We've studied the mission," said Spacecraft Commander Borman, "and we've studied the vehicle. We have faith in the guys who are helping us on the ground, and we have faith in the guys who built the machines. We wouldn't go if we didn't think the mission was worth the risks...
Steinbeck published two other novels -The Pastures of Heaven, To a God Unknown-before Tortilla Flat, in 1935, became a bestseller. In Dubious Battle, dealing with an apple pickers' strike in California and the workers' exploitation by both capitalists and Communist organizers, further established his reputation, and Of Mice and Men, his fable of strength and weakness, solidified it. After 1940, however, Steinbeck produced only two major works -East of Eden and The Winter of Our Discontent-and neither equaled in power his work during...
...first glance, the constructions of H. C. Westermann seem as innocent as something made for a child. Many of them look like dollhouses and, like dollhouses, have doors that open and windows to peer through into magical interiors where tiny figures go about their unknown business. But wait.

ABC will carry a still untitled show by Laugh-In Producers George Schlatter and Ed Friendly, introducing a group of unknown comics. What's It All About, World?, starring Dean Jones and produced by Saul Ilson and Ernest Chambers, originators of The Smothers Brothers, will also go on ABC. CBS will pick up another corporate effort by Smo-Bros Productions, The Glenn Campbell Goodtime Hour, featuring frequent visitations by Pat Paulsen. Among...
...imminent demise of several series, most of which are less than a year old and never caught on. NBC is dropping The Beautiful Phyllis Diller Show. CBS is losing Daktari and Blondie. ABC is dumping The Don Rickles Show, The Ugliest Girl in Town, Journey to the Unknown, The Felony Squad and Operation: Entertainment. The network is also jettisoning The Dick Cavett Show (TIME, March 22), one of TV's most literate daytime programs, which rarely ranked higher than 35th among the 35 daytime shows included in the ratings. But the biggest casualty is likely to be Peyton Place...
