...surface-simple formula: "Children are so open, it's easy to see what's in their minds. If I push a button, I get a response.'' Shari gets her best responses with four hand puppets-named Lamb Chop, Charlie Horse, Hush Puppy and Wing Ding-who trade wisecracks with her, play geography and spelling games, croak weekly through 20-odd songs. Shari has a sure hand with animals (at home, in a Manhattan apartment with second husband Jeremy Tarcher, she keeps a collie, an owl monkey, a parrot, and a mink), and on the show...

The new-dimension rocket was the Air Force's MB-1, or Genie (formerly dubbed Ding Dong and High Card), manufactured by Douglas Aircraft Co. The Genie's nuclear punch, said an Air Force spokesman, is "well below nominal"-nominal meaning, in the strange new vocabulary of the Atomic Age, equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT.
