...years ago with a directorial credit list of Broadway hits (Five Star Final, Reunion in Vienna, On Your Toes). Borrowing liberally from stage & screen (he also did a stint with RKO in Hollywood), "Tony" Miner has pioneered in TV with such effective techniques as the use of recordings for unspoken thoughts; the blending of film and live acting, and the combination of close-ups and long shots to get depth on the screen. His fondness for last-minute technical tinkering often moves CBS engineers to complain...
...eight million people, New York is home-whether they live in Manhattan apartments ("a box in the air"), in the serried flats of Queens, or on the elm-shaded streets of stately old Brooklyn Heights. They yearn for it while they are away. They have an unspoken pride in the city's bigness, are reassured by its noise-though many, when they go to the country, find the chirping of crickets maddening.

Before this period Harvard had some 250 years in which to lave in the Puritan tradition.

Like singing, dramatics were not then against the College laws, but as Samuel Eliot Morison has pointed...
