...future that their school-aged kids learn terms like "crazy" and "way out" in their ancient-history courses. The Jetsons have a robot maid, a sort of Hazel with gears. Father comes home from work and says he has had a hard day at the button. Little Elroy asks his mother to tell him the story about the cow that degravitated over the moon.

Last week Face beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-6, to make his record a startling 17-0, and to extend his winning streak over two seasons to 22 games.
