...series, Kukla, Fran and Ollie; Bil Baird, who operates a puppet theater in Greenwich Village and Jim Henson of Sesame Street. Fusing the best of puppets and marionettes, Henson coined the name and the creature, "Muppet." For six years, Henson's Muppets enjoyed a quiet, loyal following (including Joan Cooney) before they hit the big time on the Ed Sullivan Show. On the Street where they now live, the Muppets no longer do guest shots. Operated by Henson and Associate Wizard Frank Oz, they eclipse the "real" actors.

...inundated by tens of thousands of other Palestinians who fled from Israel. Of Hussein's 2,200,000 subjects, two-thirds are now Palestinians, and the majority are at best lukewarm to him. But the country's remaining 700,000 or so people had always been considered loyal to the throne. It is within this group that the decline in allegiance is taking place...

Even today a rising Southern politician can't consider running for office without a popular country act-perhaps Porter Wagoner and his Po Boys or the Fruit Jar Drinkers-to introduce his speeches. In style and message, the two have become inseparable...
...book has threatened-or better, promised-to bring the end of whatever critical dissent remains about the war. That event, of course, is the announcement of President Nixon's newest so-called "peace" plan, which proposes to resolve the conflict according to how many of the South Vietnamese are "loyal" to "us," and how much territory "they"-the NLF, the North Vietnamese, or whoever-"control." An interesting principle, this, which suggests that the Paris negotiators ought to divvy up the Vietnamese nation according to where the military dice have fallen thus far. And the underpinning of that principle...
