Critical Essay by Robert Lewis Shayon
650 words, approx. 2 pages
 Murder was brilliantly done on the (NBC) Kraft Television Theatre in January and repeated "by popular demand" early in February.

Of even sharper interest to this viewer is the fact that the "murder" which climaxes the drama ...

 The new Rod Serling teleplay, Certain Honorable Men,… presented no acts of physical violence.

260 words, approx. 1 pages

But "Strength of Steel" was a dreary potboiler…. No word has been received about just when Mr. Serling wrote it. It may long have antedated his better creative efforts. It seems hard to believe that the same writer had been responsible for them.
