...Yeller himself, a flop-eared hound with soulful eyes, who behaves as if he were trying to persuade Disney to invent a new cartoon character called Supermutt. He stops a bear that is charging the kid brother, rescues the older brother from a pack of wild hogs, saves the mother from being chewed up by a maddened wolf. The action, in short, is exciting for everybody, but all too often the dialogue is only for the very young. Sample: Kid Brother (after the family cow is killed) : "How come you shot old Rose?" Big Brother: "She was sick." Kid Brother...
...about the "Keepsake rings" before a bonging of bells led into a plug for Jan Murray's Treasure Hunt. After a cantor's blessing and wish for "health, happiness and togetherness," the bride and groom moved out of the canvas-and-wood chapel set, and a little cartoon man popped on-screen and chanted: "Alka-Seltzer, speedy Alka-Seltzer, bound to please you, take it for relief."

Mars and Beyond would be worth repeating if it went no farther than its tersely witty cartoon history of man's conception of the universe through the ages. Beyond that, it has fun with self-contained parody of science-fiction, and inspires wonder as it ranges freely over the landscapes of strange planets and depicts in scientifically rooted detail how an atomic-powered space craft may some...
Looking down the bumpy road toward 1960, Jack Kennedy has moments of discouragement. He takes from his wallet a cartoon showing a harassed office worker, standing on his chair, thumbing his nose at his desk, and crying "I quit!' Says Kennedy: "That's the way I feel sometimes." But in a more characteristic mood, even while maintaining his official if-I-decide-to-try line, he looks eagerly to the brawls ahead. Says he: "Nobody is going to hand me the nomination. If I were governor of a large state, Protestant and 55, I could sit back...
