...such test, the young subject is held in his mother's lap within reach of a puzzle box. Behind a sliding transparent panel, a toy is placed to snare the subject's attention. To collect this fascinating prize, the baby must hold the panel open while plundering the box of its contents. Bruner's youngest subjects -under one year-typically reach for the toy with one hand, encounter the transparent obstacle and bang on it or give up, either in slumber, indifference or tears. Older babies may manage to slide the panel up with one hand, then...

Helen Frankenthaler's painting career began in the ninth and tenth grades of Manhattan's ultrachic, ultra-strict Brearley School.

Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood appear as the kind of super soldiers who could have won World War II during a weekend pass. Major Burton is head of a British mission behind enemy lines; Lieut. Eastwood is his Yank second-in-command. Their assignment is to rescue an American general who has got himself imprisoned in a German army fortress high in the Alps. There are two inevitable complications: 1) a dirty turncoat is methodically bumping off the members of the mission, and 2) one of those guys in uniform turns out to be a girl (Mary...
