Lack of originality, however, is the real bane of this musical. The lyrics of Frank Reardon are a little more inane than most; but Earnest G. Schweikert's music is acceptable commercial fare and the dances staged by Bob Hamilton are at least as lively as those on any television show.

...Look Here! (Sun. 3:30 E.D.T.) Graff has drawn up another impressive roster: Dorothy Parker, Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe, Edith Hamilton, Jimmy Hoffa, Noel Coward, Jack Kennedy, Ethel Merman, Kukla, Fran and Ollie. He and Agronsky also plan to fly to Havana to interview Dictator Batista via the nation's first "over-the-horizon" TV transmission system, which opened last week.

Charles Granville Hamilton of Booneville Episcopal Mission in Mississippi urges Protestants to commemorate St. Bartholomew's Day with penitence for their own sins against brother Christians. "The state church of England," he suggests, "might ask forgiveness of the free churches for its persecution of them, and the state churches of Lutheran persuasion might confess how far they went astray in their suppression of Anabaptists.

...time, other books followed, including The Roman Way and The Echo of Greece. But this month the Book-of-the-Month Club chose the 27-year-old Greek Way for its current selection. Thus thousands more readers will learn what Edith Hamilton has to teach about the city where "the great spiritual forces that war in men's minds flowed along together in peace; law and freedom, truth and religion, beauty and goodness, the objective and the subjective-there was a truce to their eternal warfare, and the result was the balance and clarity ... a reconciling power, something...
