Petticoat Rustle. Not only is the TV western riding hell-for-leather in the ratings; it is turning woman-conscious in an effort to widen its audience. CBS's Annie Oakley frankly aims at showing that the female is more deadly than the male, and on NBC's Frontier, the rustle of petticoats is fast drowning out the creak of chaps. In last week's show, plucky Beverly Garland, though frail, put-upon and pregnant, drove her weak-spirited menfolk and a herd of cattle more than 600 long miles, through drought, ambush and ennui, from parched...
...Says the Cowboy Sir: Fie on the reviewer of The American Cowboy for referring to Dr. Frantz and me as "dude professors" and "vicarious vaqueros" [Nov. 14].

"You read too many comic books." says Dean. They fight with knives. Dean wins. The boy challenges him to a "chickie run" -a dash to the edge of a cliff in two stolen cars; first man to jump out before the cars go over the brink is "chicken." Caught between folly and disgrace. Dean asks his father what to do. Father funks out. Dean makes...
Gold is the label, red and black the hinged cardboard box. Inside, recipients of this Christmas package will find two bestsellers: a King James Bible in imitation leather, zippered open and shut with a plastic ball containing a mustard seed;* a red and gold imitation leather copy of The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. Price of this Treasury of Faith: $6.95. "There is no substitute for the Bible," writes Dr. Peale on the box, but it is clear which book he expects people to read first. "I hope that readers will be encouraged," he adds...
