...part of a TIME subscription sales pitch to his potential customers - whose response is somewhat less than enthusiastic. Novelist P.G. Wodehouse proved to be a masthead reader too. In the 1955 Christmas issue of Punch, he published a poetic catalogue of our editorial staffers, including then-Managing Editor Roy Alexander: "How very much I would enjoy,/ To call Roy Alexander 'Roy'/ And hear him say 'Hullo, dear...
...faults, for it matches Tarkington's rambling and disjointed style. Technically, however, it is once again vintage Welles, replete with deep-focus and up-from-the-floor, down-from-the-ceiling camera angles. The old Mercury Theatre gang is there, Joseph Cotton, Anne Baster, and Roy Collins, but the film cries out for the presence of the master himself.

Phase I began in Brooklyn when he inherited from Charlie Dressen a club of sluggers led by Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges and Duke Snider. Back then, explains Alston, "it was simply a matter of playing it close to the vest until one of your big guns broke up the game with a home run." Phase II came after the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 and had to rely on speed and pitching to make up for their gradual loss of gun power...
