...name implies, the show is a junior version of the network's hard-punching weekly magazine-format program, 60 Minutes. It stars a couple of full-fledged CBS News correspondents, Betsy Aaron, 39, and Christopher Glenn, 40, who comb the country in search of stories that might interest teenagers and preteens-just as Dan Rather, Morley Safer and Mike Wallace do for adults. With slightly less success-at least from the looks of last Saturday's first 30 Minutes, which included rather pedestrian film reports on acne treatment and the plight of a justifiably obscure rock band trying...

Leon Spinks, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the new status he had so frantically sought. The privations of a ghetto background had suddenly been replaced by $3.75 million purses.

Graduated tennis captain Todd Lundy picked up All-League honors, as well...

Since 1974, the National District Attorneys Association has sponsored victim-witness assistance programs through 68 offices all over the U.S. Other groups, including the Junior League in Chicago, have pitched in, providing encouragement to witnesses. With some success apparently: in one Chicago courtroom the Junior League ladies have cut the number of no-show witnesses in half. But progress is slow where the problem is deepseated; Vera's Brooklyn project, for instance, has made...
