...punishment is necessary to enforce an order, the most desirable kind, said Dr. Kenward, is to turn the misbehavior itself into a weapon. A girl who likes neat clothes but refuses to hang them up will eventually get tired of wearing wrinkled dresses. If a child steals, he must make restitution. Next obvious stage in punishment is depriving the child of privileges...
...BORE. Fresh out of quiz programs to sponsor, Revlon this year is betting on 15 biweekly CBS variety shows, each to be laboriously dressed up to look like a party thrown by show folk for one another. Host of last week's opening brawl (in a make-believe Waldorf duplex) was Movie Idol Rock Hudson, who a few years ago inspired the title for a comedy called Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? Last week millions of televiewers found out the answer: no, because there is nothing to spoil. His amiable, muscular and vacant manner scarcely intruded on some predictably...
...real housecleaning, the A.C.E. urged last week, every state should drastically boost standards for licensing and degree granting.

In sum: "A plainly pessimistic but utterly...
...Nothing Bothers Me." Little in Pitcher Sherry's background hinted that he would ever make the World Series, let alone allow just one run in 12⅔ innings for a startling earned-run average of .71. Son of a Los Angeles dry cleaner, Sherry was born with clubfeet, did not recover from corrective surgery until he was twelve. But Larry grimly pitched by the hour to Brother Norm (now a third-string catcher for the Dodgers), eventually developed enough speed to be a star at Fairfax High School. Signed by the Dodgers, Sherry looked like just another scatter-armed...
