After living in what a real estate agent called a "luxury home," I have a new version of my dream house: a log cabin on a wooded lot in a moderate climate...
Playhouse 90: Devoting a 90-minute play to a sympathetic view of a criminal's career is probably breaking new ground on TV and, as such, ought to be encouraged. Unfortunately, in the case of The Mystery of Thirteen, it proved cold, cold ground.

NBC's version was a rollicking production full of style and striking images, a bouncy score, and dances depicting the fluttery rhythms of liberated marionettes and the slow-motion gyrations of deep-sea fish. At the top of a first-rate cast, which included Walter Slezak, Martyn Green and Stubby Kaye, was 37-year...
