...Norman Vincent Peale occasionally watches Lucy, Bonanza and The F.B.I. Van Cliburn often unwinds between practice sessions or before performances with afternoon soap operas. So does Artur Rubinstein, who on request can unravel the complicated plots of a half dozen of the soapers. ("Those organs!" says Rubinstein, holding his nose and unmistakably imitating their quavering tone.) William Buckley says that he finds no time for TV, but Chicago Lawyer Newton Minow, the former Federal Communications Commission chairman who described TV as a "vast wasteland," still watches fairly regularly. Among his favorites: Get Smart...
...devised by Dr. Vincent J. Freda and Dr. John G. Gorman of Columbia University, working with Dr. William Pollack of Ortho Research Foundation, the new technique is to vaccinate the mother immediately after the birth of her first Rh-positive child with a blood fraction containing other people's anti-Rh antibodies.

Van Gogh, his nephew and chairman of the foundation from whose collection the current display was assembled. "That's why in Provence he could very often complete a large painting in a single...

The old criticism that Sullivan's score is a bit churchy is true but in this instance besides the point. The orchestra has a certain lightness, a brassiness of tone which deletes much of what is sentimental in the music...
