...five hours, and everyone was expected to contribute his opinions to the topic of the evening. Nadra Nader, now 77, a Lebanese immigrant who built up a moderately prosperous restaurant business, presided over these Kennedy-like sessions, and he urged the children to stand up for their rights. "Never kowtow," he taught?and they learned the lesson...
...Super Bowl, a boon awaits in a minuscule series of specials called CBS Children's Hour. That's right-children's specials. If J.T., the first offering, is any indication, children and adults alike will be stimulated, moved and entertained by a kind of drama almost never found on commercial television. J.T., which will be broadcast on Saturday, Dec. 13,* is an original story written by Jane Wagner and beautifully directed by Robert Young.

He has shown that in an increasingly computerized, complex and impersonal society, one persistent man can actually do something about the forces that often seem to badger...
...wino outside the theater holds out a dollar saying "Here, Bert, and thanks." As a young intellectual, John Lahr is eloquent, too, about his father's final sense that he did not understand the modern world around him. Unfortunately, such moments only emphasize the fact that the book never reaches the secret of the genius that prompted the drunk's gratitude and Lahr's fame. The book does successfully summon up the private Bert Lahr and the backstage world in which he lived, but as his son would probably admit, the best way to know...
