Children's recordings used to find some of their finest inspirations up in tree houses and down in rabbit holes. Nowadays, they enviously twirl around the television screen. Nobody makes a bigger noise on Kidiscs than Yogi Bear or Huckleberry Hound. Accordingly, holiday record-shop browsers this year will meet the likes of Professor Ludwig von Drake (Disneyland), Quick Draw McGraw (Golden), Popeye the Sailor Man (Peter Pan) and Felix the Cat (Play Hour)-all of them shouting, giggling and bleating out jokes and songs with hectic abandon. But the children's market still offers more than...
...height of the conspiracy the boys attack their dormitory proctor with pillows. They hound him into submission in a chaotic onslaught that leaves the room filled with floating feathers. Then the camera switches to slow motion, the feathers hover eerily, and the boys tie their teacher to his bed, which they tilt on its end.

From the outset, the Yassiada trials went badly. Early prosecution charges that old ex-President Celal Bayar, 77,, sold a state-owned Afghan hound for personal gain did not stand up. An accusation that ex-Premier Menderes had arranged for the murder of his illegitimate child proved false; Menderes admitted readily that he had fathered the child in an illicit affair with an opera singer, but proved he had nothing to do with its death, which seemed to be of natural causes. Charges that Menderes threatened ex-President (and Republican Party leader) Ismet Inonu with assassination could not be substantiated...
