They have been spurred by publicity about the Government's campaigns to help them find work. Under federal sponsorship, such personalities as Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz, Astronaut Frank Borman and Mickey Mantle are making televised appeals to businessmen to hire young people. Disturbed that few companies are eager to hire unseasoned or draft-eligible workers, the Government has ordered federal agencies to take on one temporary employee this summer for every hundred regulars on the roll.

It is Jerkism to drink three Martinis, and Jerkism to pretend that Pop Art is Art. It is Jerkism...
...baseball is here, spring can't be far behind. It can't come too soon for Houston Pitcher Turk Farrell: last week he complained that the saliva on his spitball was freezing up. Then there was Mickey Mantle, who wore gloves to bat-and Whitey Ford, who was desolate when the umpire took away the hot-water bottle he was using to keep his pitching fingers warm...
