With my Bulletin today I received a shock. Gone was the lively cover that used to adorn it. In its place, a format which could just as well be taken over with little change by the undertaker's association. From now on I shall be ashamed to show the Bulletin to my non-Harvard friends. Princeton has its orange and black, Yale its blue. Well, what the h... has happened to Harvard's Crimson...
...format for reviewing musicals this season has become sadly routine.

He estimated he could break even with 1,000,000 circulation. Last week Annenberg admitted defeat...
...Manhattan office, Producer Max Liebman and his two stars, Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca, broke the news to reporters. Next fall each goes his own way: Caesar, who has signed a ten-year contract with NBC, will star in his own show; Liebman is working on the format of a new Show of Shows with a new cast; and Imogene thinks she will have a show of her own, too ("But NBC hasn't yet picked up my option...
