...Chicken Agents. The justification for the Patsy Awards is clear enough. Every year animals appear in about 20,000 roles in the movies and on TV. They act their hearts out, but they go largely unsung. There were 12,000 horse appearances in 1967 alone, most of them "N.D.s" (nondescripts, or extras), some of them cast horses (Bonanza's Lorne Greene rides a cast horse), the rest stunt horses who can rear up, buck, play dead and, for all anybody knows, kiss and dance the boogaloo.

At Ohio's Oberlin College, where no national officer has paid a visit in more than two years, the local chapter is a dispirited band of 35 students. The group has all but melded...
Lurleen Burns was a poor man's daughter, and all she could bring as her dowry was loyalty. In 1943, when she married George Wallace, a young truckdriver who talked of being Alabama's Governor, their wedding breakfast was a drugstore chicken-salad sandwich and soda pop. Then the pretty 16-year-old blonde, whom he had found selling cosmetics in a Tuscaloosa dime store, dutifully followed Wallace to wartime Army bases, once making him a home in a converted henhouse. As his political fortunes prospered, Lurleen mothered his four children, remaining in the background when they settled...
