...Jetsons (ABC), an animated cartoon series by Hanna and Barbera, is about a family that lives in the distant future and survives on show business's most solid fuel: corn...
...pack horses with windshield blades and sneak off to the movies during maneuvers. No one over ten with an IQ above 36 should care much for it, but it is good amusement for little boys and is on the air at 6:30 p.m. Also on NBC, Cartoonists Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera have now followed their prehistoric FHntstones with another family called The Jetsons, who live so far in the 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...

Right to their faces, Humphrey told South Carolina's Senator Strom Thurmond that he was "confused" and California's Clair Engle that he was "mixed up." To a big company like Hanna (total assets: $450 million), he said, the smelter deal was "small potatoes"; for that matter, the nickel contracts were the "tag end of our business." He had, he said, been too busy with more important Hanna interests to pay much attention to the nickel contracts while they were being negotiated...
