...standard heroes-errant of the frontier. Cartoon Impresario Disney was trundled about from one plug to another by his Mousketeers, who wound up the big sales convention with a tasteless routine on top of a giant birthday cake, plugging a movie called Rainbow Road to Oz. Peter Pan Peanut Butter interrupted a fetching cartoon depiction of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, which Disney dragged out of his attic of past hits for a commercial on its crunchy product. Even Alice in Wonderland got helplessly involved in the selling melee: "Was it the smile on my Cheshire cat," asks...
...Woman's Secret. In Columbus, Ohio, after police, alerted by suspicious merchants, followed Catherine Clegg, 34, found in her car and in a trick skirt, a chicken, two pounds of butter, a small ham, oranges, a package of chopped beef, a pound of perch, a pound of bacon, a steak, a box of Kleenex, a bottle of milk of magnesia, two kinds of toilet soap, two bottles of headache tablets, a couple of combs, a bottle of shampoo and two kinds of hair bleach-almost none of which had been paid for-she explained: "I didn...
...plant but on increased efficiency-to be won simply by decentralizing and streamlining the vast Soviet economic bureaucracy.

Religion began to serve him at the age of 15; when a friend came down with typhoid, Ronnie lived on bread and butter for six weeks. His friend died, and Knox prayed for him 15 minutes each day "with my hands held above the level of my head, which is not as easy as it sounds." At 17, he vowed himself to celibacy. At 24, he became the Anglican chaplain of Oxford University's Trinity College...
Like any housewife who has to live with a lower grocery budget, the Pentagon last week slowed down its buying of a few bread-and-butter items and decided to make longer, lower time payments. The budget ax in this case fell on the aircraft industry. The Navy announced that it will stretch out the procurement of three jet fighters-Chance Vought's supersonic F8U Crusader, McDonnell's F3H Demon, Douglas' A4D Skyhawk. United Aircraft Corp. reported that its work on a nuclear-plane engine would be "drastically reduced," or scrapped altogether. And the Defense Department announced...
