Richard Diamond (Thurs. 8 p.m., E.D.T., CBS). Very much a Diamond in the rough, "Rick" brawls with as much zest as McGraw, has got his quota of lumps when outnumbered by thugs in ambush. A smooth, handsome bruiser with dark curly hair, Diamond (David Janssen) can incapacitate an enemy for hours with his trick judo neck-chop, also has a vicious knee uppercut that comes close to decapitating downed adversaries. Diamond's most amazing talent is his ability to keep his fedora on, no matter how violent the battle. His worst quality seems to be his flagrant affection...
...absolutely cowering canvas." In the second of his two volumes on the Spencer-Churchill families (TIME, Oct. 1, 1956), Rowse splashes and wallops his way from the death of the great Duke of Marlborough in 1722 to the epoch of the great Winnie without losing for an instant his zest for large, fierce, frantic flourishes.

That The Editor dedicates itself to "dawning" writers may indeed be a disservice in disguise, for, more often than not, a writer is better advised to keep his clothes on until the sun is up. Consequently the void which The Editor claims it will fill perhaps...
...going fettle was brought on by complete recovery from his stroke, or by the feel of spring, or by other causes, it showed unmistakably in stepped-up work done (TIME, April 14), in showings-at press conferences and at his desk-of a new jauntiness and zest for issues...
