...characterizations drawn by many of the experimental playwrights are, at best, perfunctory. As in two of the undergraduate plays presented at Yale, the characters may be little more than convenient figures from mythology--Greek, in the case of Princeton's Reflections, (by Wayne Lawson), or Christian, in Swarthmore's Walk the Circle (by Werner Honig). Sometimes, as in Mary Manning's fine adaptation of Joyce's Finnegans Wake, which was staged by Mount Holyoke, the characters are not recognizable people...
...fight for freedom, George Washington." By such deft vignettes, CBS's See It Now presented "Poland, 1957," an engrossing, hour-long documentary on the Communist satellite since it gained a limited amount of freedom from Russia last year. Occasionally, the brisk pace was slowed to a walk, as when Poland's brooding, egg-bald Premier Jozef Cyrankiewicz deadpanned noncommittal answers to Correspondent Daniel Schorr's questions. But for the most part the pictures, the reporting, and the narration by Edward R. Murrow succeeded in projecting their intended impression of "a nation on a tightrope," still unsure about...
...final form at the time of the Sultan Saladin in 1174 A.D.

Korea, Sept. 6. 1950. The North Koreans have broken through the Naktong line. An American platoon is isolated, surrounded. Says the lieutenant (Robert Ryan): "We walk out." Then comes a stroke of luck. A jeep comes roaring across an open field. Passengers: a bitter, combat-weary sergeant (Aldo Ray), and his shell-shocked colonel (Robert Keith), debris of a distant battle. The lieutenant takes over the jeep at gunpoint, loads the ammo on it, forces the sergeant to march with the platoon to Hill 465. But is the divisional HQ still there...
Repetto went five innings, striking out three and walking none, and allowing two runs, one earned. Bernstein finished up, allowing a walk and fanning one in an inning and two thirds to give up one unearned run. The game was finally called in the last of the seventh. Bob Hastings provided the lone Crimson tally with a solo home run in the fifth...
