Equally Muppet-struck are Correspondent Mary Cronin and Researcher Patricia Beckert, who did the reporting for the story. Cronin set out to interview the puppeteer who manipulates Garbage-Can Resident Oscar the Grouch, but ended up conducting a canside dialogue with Oscar himself "In your off hours, do you ever talk to any kids?" she asked him. "Once I met a blind boy and he had heard the show," Oscar recounted "He felt my hair and I bit him. But I don't have any teeth so I can't hurt anyone. So we shook hands...

Contributing Editors Judson Gooding, Marshall Burchard and Frederic Golden collaborated with Editors John Elson and Robert Shnayerson on the cover story and "sidebars." They were assisted by Researchers Jane Semmel, Erika Sanchez, Patricia Gordon and Patricia Beckert. For Gooding, the assignment had a sense of familiarity. As San Francisco bureau chief in 1967, he covered the Oakland antidraft demonstrations; last year he was in Paris reporting on "les jours...
