...Addams Family are successful incarnations of the necrogeists in Charles Addams' cartoons. Their house is a great Victorian cobweb with a bear rug that growls when stepped on, a stuffed sailfish that has the legs of a child protruding from its mouth, and a mailbox with a hand in it that receives letters. Including guillotined dolls and thoroughbred spiders that are raised by the children, the props are obviously first-rate, but the people are even better. Beautiful Carolyn Jones plays the mother, Morticia, with a chilling verve that should make any dead-blooded man want to share...
Jonny Quest is this season's new animated series from Hanna-Barbera, producers of The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Yogi Bear.

Governor Kerner has accused Percy of letting his ambition overrule his conscience in his support of Goldwater.

Another Percy headache arises from Illinois' voter-assistance law, which permits officials to help voters make out their ballots...
...hero of the novel answers to the name of Mason Jarrett, but he strongly resembles guntherized Gunther. A rumpled bear of a man, working for a Chicago paper, he covers all southeastern Europe from Istanbul to Prague. Jarrett also has Gunther's herculean capacity for hard work, his shrewd journalistic intuition, the same flair for intimate background stories about nations and their leaders; and he is in on every major event from Austria's abortive 1931 attempt to form a customs union with Germany to its four-day civil war in February 1934, when the fascist Heitnwehr militia...
