Children, like cats, will watch anything that moves, and the fact has not been lost on makers of children's films. Hustling for small change, they dress shoddy actors in seedy costumes, bloat fairy tales to 1½-hour proportions and ship the results to Saturday matinees. In the throng, however, there are a few legitimate producers whose gold is all but lost in the straw. The best of them is Robert Radnitz, 44, whose movies-A Dog of Flanders, Island of the Blue Dolphins, And Now Miguel-are the sleepers of the children's film industry...

Says Adlai: "I dote on him." Sahl contributed a joke bank that John Kennedy drew on for his witty performance at last November's Al Smith Dinner, once discouraged a Nixon worker who approached him for a similar purpose. As for President Eisenhower, he has never heard of Mort Sahl -possibly because the comedian refers to Press Secretary Jim Hagerty as "Ike's right foot." But Sahl...
