Earp, who used a ruse and one burst of buckshot to disarm all 30 ruffians, symbolizes not only the gunfighting marshals who tamed the wild frontier but a pack of horse operas that thunder in growing numbers down the channels of TV. The three networks like this season's 16 Western series so well that they have already scheduled twelve more for next fall-the biggest visible trend for the new season-and independents are hopefully breaking in 50 other contenders. Among the forthcoming shows: CBS's Have Gun, Will Travel, ABC's The Texan, The Californians...
...clothes and drawing room, half wanting and half dreading to be discovered as an impostor. The simplest acts are tense puzzlers, like finding his way to bed and then finding out who is in it. Acting the count, John soon realizes that the real count was fleeing a pack of emotional creditors whose hearts he had bankrupted. The count's mother is a morphine addict. His sister is a pious recluse who has not spoken to him for 15 years for unjustly killing her fiancé as a collaborationist. His brother, who dutifully manages the family glass foundry...

"We'd be talking along," recalls Fadiman, "and then we'd look up and there would be two little kids in pajamas, hanging over the banister, eavesdropping." Charles's mother would pack him and his younger brother John, now 28 and an instructor in American civilization at Brandeis University, off to bed. But Charlie never stood in awe of the guests. "They were like a bunch of uncles to him," says Fadiman. As a tot, Charlie played with Philosopher Adler...
...intrepid hero. Most wonderful for its charitable satire is his portrayal of the doddering Anglican clergyman of the clan of D'Ascoyne who is rather too fond of his port. But most of the other of Mr. Guinness's creations are equally memorable. He has managed to pack the essence of Guinness in these roles which reflect his range from the Lavender Hill Mob to Captain's Paradise. Also engaging is Joan Greenwood as the calculating young lady who engages at least part of our hero's affections...
