King Zor, Glass's most expensive toy this year, is a terrifying-looking, three-foot plastic dinosaur. Six plastic "prehistoric rocks" are loaded into Zor's back. The child then fires a dart gun at a red target on the beast's tail; a bull's-eye causes Zor to lunge toward the nursery-school St. George and launch one of his projectiles with a primordial roar. King Zor is already stirring up controversy among disapproving parents, who claim the toy teaches children combat. Glass disagrees, calls it a game of mechanized tag: "It is better...

...Fokker plant to ruins. After the war, Fokker executives shepherded the remnants of the company's work force together and began to rebuild. Helped by a $7,000,000 loan from the Dutch government. Fokker introduced in 1958 its first postwar airliner, the F27. Powered by Rolls-Royce Dart engines, the F-27 (price $700,000) carries from 40 to 52 passengers, cruises at 300 m.p.h. It has a maximum range of 1,270 miles and an enviable safety record of only three crashes-all due to pilot error. So far, Fokker has sold 256 F275 to customers...
Almost everyone but Newton Minow and a small group of diehards have stopped expecting new Shakespeares, or even new Jean Kerrs, to come popping out of the tube. Occasionally, TV specials do dart guiltily into advanced culture, like the flashlights of burglars in the Metropolitan Museum. Prodded by Minow, the industry has raised its public affairs programming to an admirable level, as was evident last week from Oxford, Miss., to Cape Canaveral. But people who really care about TV-the ones who habitually watch it-are devoted to the weekly programs that contain the real stuff of television...
Between business deals, often carried out on two telephones at once, Hirshhorn pores over art books, uses every spare minute to dart in and out of galleries. Though his store of knowledge about art is awesome, he seems to operate almost entirely by instinct. "There are," he says, "two types of art-good and bad. If you see a piece that you really like, it hits you in the brain, and in my case, I gotta buy it." Occasionally, Collector Hirshhorn may take a whole day, or even two, to make up his mind about a purchase. More often, "when...
