...magazine will face a crisis that is surely unique in the annals of periodical publishing: both of its proprietors have to go back to school. "We hope to sell Tempo to someone with enough money to carry on," said young Goldberg hopefully. "Probably an adult who'll hire teen-agers to put it out. I don't think any adult could run Tempo." Added young Gould somewhat more realistically: "That's right. But we'll sell to anybody...
...defense policy, Wilson scathingly attacked the government's "pathetic idea" that the decision "to hire Polaris missiles from the U.S." has any serious influence on the course of events. But there was accord between Conservatives and Labor on at least one issue.

Last week the three networks and the wire services agreed to set up a joint Network Election Service that will di vide the chores, pool the results, and present the same vote count to a viewer no matter what channel...

Once upon a time Walt Disney had a duck that laid a golden egg, but for many years now it has cost more to draw a paper performer than it does to hire a live one. In order to balance their books, most modern animators compromise their methods. They simplify figures, eliminate movements, primarize colors, standardize settings. Even so, they occasionally do exciting work. Of two feature-length cartoons in current release, one is about as good as such things get. The other, unhappily, looks like a TV reject...
