What had a Niagara of cascading hair, a smile like sunrays, some discreet thigh and a revolutionary effect on the poster business? A picture of Farrah Fawcett, that's what. The Farrah poster, still the alltime bestseller in a crowded field, pushed aside peace symbols and cartoon characters. Top draws today include such entries as Farrah's replacement Angel, Cheryl Ladd, and WKRP in Cincinnati's Loni Anderson, but Muppetdonna Miss Piggy is way up on the charts too, as a kind of ham amid the cheese. Beefcake has sold as well, including young Rock Stars Andy...
...dimensions that eight-to twelve-year-olds use themselves in organizing their own experience," says Chen. For example, to demonstrate that sound consists of vibrations, Marc and Lisa play with a toy telephone made by stretching a string between two tin cans. Then the scene shifts to two cartoon characters who joke about dialing wrong numbers. To introduce gravity, 3-2-1 Contact skips the traditional account of Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple and shows a Hollywood stunt man plummeting from a four-story building; sensibly, Marc refuses to follow...

Entwistle's songs, which are like nightshade valentines, show up on Who albums often as a kind of bleakly bemused counterpoint to Townshend's.

There is, for example, a certain Wild Bill Daltrey, a tightwad gunslinger who drills his victims with platinum bullets, then digs them...

The agency intensified a holy war against breakfast cereal companies; it has proposed breaking them up and banning ads for presweetened cereals from Saturday morning's TV cartoon shows. An FTC-proposed rule warned that such ads were enticing children to "surreptitiously" sneak cereals into Mom's shopping cart. Washington wags quipped that the FTC would soon ban peanut butter because it stuck to the roof of the mouth...
Another point needs to be made. The media cartoonists should beware of covertly compounding the problem by offending religious or racial sensitivities. The Boston Globe recently carried a cartoon of a Muslim at prayer thinking "kill." Extra-careful precautions should be taken not to offend the Iranian people's religious sensitivities, nor to arouse any prejudices on the part of the people of the U.S.A., for the scars of this whole incident would take a long time to heal and would take the human rights movement back a long way. If Islamic practices are ridiculed it could create a deleterious...
