Seeing Henry IV is somewhat like entering a theatre late and leaving it early: one comes after the plot has been set in motion and does not stay to see it resolved. And so, one complaint about the Phoenix Theatre productions of the second and third parts of the tetralogy is external to the productions themselves--they are not preceded by Richard II and, short of a trip to Central Park for Joseph Papp's production, one cannot see Henry V after Part II. In these circumstances, it is all the more remarkable that Stuart Vaughan has achieved balanced...
...into three semesters instead of the standard two. Each semester runs 15 weeks: September through the middle of December, January through the second week in April, the last week of April through the first week of August. Students in the plan get a month's breather after the third semes ter, then start in again. Students and teachers both may take either two or three semesters each year. If they choose three, students can finish college, go on to graduate school and embark on a profession while they are still quite young. As for the teachers, they can either...
...Major Weakness. What many economists find most encouraging is that there is no single weak sector that threatens to pull the economy down. Inventory buying is expected to remain at the $5 billion level in the third quarter, and may rise in the final period. Says a top Administration economist: "That drag is behind us." Plant and equipment spending, although trimmed slightly, will still be 14% ahead of last year and close to the 1957 record of $37 billion. Federal highway spending under the federal aid program will double to $1.4 billion in the next three months; Government purchasing will...
Family Affair. For its first try in the world rerun market, BBC-TV is riding on The Third, Man series, based loosely on the adventures of Harry Lime-so loosely in fact, that Novelist Graham Greene, who wrote the original screenplay, has sternly dissociated himself from his kid brother's serial. Though The Third Man got a lukewarm critical reception in London, it has been bought for $1,500,000 (recouping the production cost) by Budweiser and Rheingold beers, will be shown on U.S. screens this fall. Another sales success: a Canadian Mountie series, snapped...
...special reason of its own for wanting to sell its TV output abroad. BBC's license conies up for renewal in 1962, and a third British network, due to begin after 1964, is up for grabs. The BBC will have no trouble getting its own license extended, but it would also like to be awarded the new network franchise. Only if it can prove itself competitive against front-running ITV in revenue as well as quality will it have much of a chance...
