...experiments was designed to determine the extent to which aggression can be transmitted to children through exposure to aggressive adult models. One group of children observed an aggressive model who exhibited relatively novel forms of physical and verbal aggression toward a large inflated plastic doll; a second group viewed the same model behave in a very subdued and inhibited manner, while children in a control group had no exposure to any models. Half the children in each of the experimental conditions observed models of the same sex as themselves and the remaining children in each group witnessed opposite-sex models...
...compare the effects of real-life and film-mediated or televised aggressive models on children's behavior. Children in the human film-aggression group viewed a movie showing the same adults who had served as models in the earlier experiment portraying the novel aggressive acts toward the inflated doll. Children in the cartoon-aggression group saw a film projected on a glass lenscreen in a television console. In this film a female model was costumed as a cat and exhibited aggressive behavior toward a plastic doll...
Angela Lansbury, a doll who refuses to be anything but living, plays the Madwoman as if the character existed in the script and score. She nearly makes it in the first act, and in the second, she takes flight (with some help from a Herman ballad, the only song in the show that works).

Despite the unhappy things she has to do in Dear World, you have to love...
...never believe it but I looked up your doll Akiko-man is she terrific. She finally admitted (next morning, haha) that she hasn't got another boyfriend. Those wild letters are turned out by a fantastic guy named Tokuji Sugaya in a love-letter shop in swinging old Shibuya who lets these gorgeous chicks talk for a while and then he sits down and writes notes to about ten or 20 G.I.s a day. He charges 300 yen a letter, and the clients are just the best I've ever seen...
Refreshing in an entirely different way is That's Life (Tuesday, 10-11 p.m.). In this free-spirited musical lark, another hapless hero, Robert Morse, plays opposite a real-life doll with the unlikely name of E.J. (for Edra Jeanne) Peaker. Informal to the point of plotlessness, the series romps through a tomato surprise of old tunes and new ones, comedy sketches and big production numbers. Old Pro George Burns helped tie together the opening-night proceedings with cigar-chomping asides and monologues. Another guest, Tony Randall, contributed a mix of roguish, debonair and fumbling antics. Other celebrities will...
