...moved last week to clip the wings of non-quiz shows. President Frank Stanton announced that he wants CBS to dump all "deceptive" TV practices (including canned applause and canned laughter) unless the audience is informed of them beforehand. Stanton even lashed out at CBS's own personal-interview shows, notably such tame and untarnished stalwarts as U.N. in Action and Person to Person, because the guests are vaguely rehearsed. In rage, P. to P.'s producers, John Aaron and Jesse Zousmer, resigned -but not before retorting that the show was so spontaneous that two flustered male guests...
...important second step in the "opening up," Fainsod feels, is the exchange of pre-Ph.D. graduate students for entire academic years, a program which started last year with half-a dozen Harvard people participating. These students had some opportunities to interview Soviet personnel and could study in the libraries (though not in the governmental archives). This problem of access has yet to be resolved.

Had Author West (Goodness Had Nothing to Do with It) said or done anything naughty before the cameras? "Certain minds always misconstrue everything," said the past mistress of double-meaning ribaldry. "I have a very big public that understands what I say." Exactly what happened when CBS Interviewer Charles Collingwood came up and saw Mae in her Hollywood apartment? One of the droller exchanges came when...
...found out by fortunate coincidence that he was at the time visiting professor at Harvard. So early that afternoon I went to Lowell House and knocked on the door of his room. Happily, he was in. I asked John Dewey whether he would have half an hour for an interview any time in the next few days. He very generously answered, "now." So I put to him the following questions...
