...Your Life, Inhale & Exhale (short stories), called his experiment a "balletplay." It used music (composed by Henry Brant), dancing (choregraphed by Eugene Loring), dialogue (Saroyan's), and exquisite, dreamy sets consisting of stereopticon shadows cast on gauzy overlapping screens (Boris Aronson)-was, as Saroyan boasted in his cocky program note, "a new American form." As usual by Saroyan, critics were baffled; some thought the experiment goofy, some thought it just goo, some thought it really good. None could deny it was full to the lips with life...

In his broadcasts last week Davis reported a couple of sinkings, all the home-water problems involved in the Navy's proposed new five-year ship building program (see p. 77).

...fill the Walter O'Keefe half-hour, and give battle to Pot o' Gold as well, CBS on Dec. 19 raked up a radio program called Court of Missing Heirs, which had a brisk radio career two years ago in the Midwest, tracing heirs to unclaimed fortunes. Pecking away at a guesstimated pile of $160,000,000 in unclaimed estates in the U.
