Sargent (Ch. II, flat 22203-32390) describes an Editor with clerks and staff writers. An assistant reads incoming scripts first and discards the unfit; he says about eighty per cent stop there. The rest go to the Editor for a second reading, then to one of three disposal routes. Only the third route (weekly directors' conference) is described as synopsis first, then the action plot.

Curator qualifications: Reading stages and the about-80-percent first-stage discard verified as his estimate.
