...handy CRIMSON that the Establishment, since my remorseless withdrawal from the celestial confines, continues with undiminished zeal in its search for the truth that we all seek. I can only express (from my dark corner) my gratitude for its paternal indulgence of its wayward sons. I refer, of course, to a recent CRIMSON story reporting what our Housemasters think of those sorry seniors who shut out from their lives the golden world of the Houses and who slunk into the drafty and frosty holes that are the private dwellings of Cambridge...

...this is familiar jungle rot, but Scriptwriter Milton Holmes has supplied some measure of balm. He gives Hero Todd a sturdy slug of cussedness with which to wash down the. standard mixture of courage and nobility. And beneath his heroine's wayward bust beats no bromidic heart of gold; she is tough, sardonic, shrewdly mindful of her best interests, passionate only as an escape from boredom. When she finally comes to love her man, it is with an old pro's brand of affection-wary, oddly sincere, and rooted in open-eyed recognition that he is probably...

...show series of half-hour programs based on the sadistic, satyric, free-lance detective created by Mickey ("I'm not an author, I'm a writer") Spillane. Soon to be shown by 122 stations, the series entangles Hammer with every evil from white slavery to the wayward son of a chambermaid. A onetime tailback for the College of the Pacific, Actor McGavin looks natural tossing heavies down flights of stairs and giving the leather to fallen enemies. But his performances as a whole are curiously uneven. In the first show he slurs his lines like a Bowery tough...

Callas' own performance had the familiar virtues and faults: warmth and purity in the lower and middle registers, edginess and wobble in the upper ones. But she infused the character of Violetta with ardency, hectic gaiety and a dampened passion that flickered through the role like a wayward fever. Her deathbed agonies had the quiet poignancy and the ring of truth that so often evade lesser artists.
