...that movies are better than ever on television but that the new television series are worse. Last week, according to the latest Nielsen survey, four of the top-rated seven programs were old films, and not a single new-show was titillating enough to crack the top ten. The first-and second-ranking shows were parts one and two of Steve McQueen's 1963 film, The Great Escape-CBS had shrewdly cut the 170-minute feature into two installments, and played them on successive nights. The rest of the leaders, in order: Bonanza (NBC), 20th Century...
South of the Rat Islands, beneath the grey-green greasy Pacific swells off Alaska and close to the international date line that keeps Thursday from being Friday, an American submersible is missing. Shrouded in a fog bank, the S.S. Robert Louis Stevenson started on her first-and presumably last-underwater cruise on Aug. 10.

Not until the fifth and sixth grades does the course take up menstruation and reproduction. In Anaheim, Calif., whose program is considered one of the best in the U.S., instruction begins in the seventh grade, covering parent-child and sibling conflicts, physical changes in adolescence, and masturbation. The eighth grade takes up more physical changes, "problem-solving techniques" and dating. The ninth grade discusses going steady and premarital intercourse. The tenth grade deals with engagement and readiness for marriage. Eleventh...
...shot at it. We have to assume one of two things: no one has seen the story or read anything; or they have both seen and read about it. Either way we have an extra job to do, and that is depth. In effect, we combine the first-and second-day story...
