...captain's colleague, Mr. Green Jeans-played by Lumpy Brannum, onetime bass fiddler for Fred Waring-brings along a variety of live animals, explains their habits to the kids; lately he has turned up with a midget pony, a coati, a kinkajou, and a ten-week-old Himalayan sun bear. Another colleague, Cosmo ("Gus") Allegretti, inhabits the skin of the durable Dancing Bear, is also the prime mover behind other sympathetic creatures-Bunny Rabbit, Mr. Moose and the somnolent Grandfather Clock. Without prompting devices. Actor Keeshan, 32, meanders around the set using man-to-man language that can make...
...rabbi also laid the cornerstones for several major Hasidic projects in Israel, including a new five-story rabbinical-study center, a new housing project near Tel Aviv, an old people's home. Perhaps his most dramatic operation concerns Tel Aviv's long-embattled public swimming pool, which the Hasidim consider an outrage because it permits mixed bathing. Teitelbaum and his backers are trying to buy the pool from the two collectives that own it, are reported ready to offer $140,000. If the offer is turned down, Teitelbaum will order mass demonstrations by his followers. Says...

Bearing crosses and banners, whole families walked together, singing and praying. The young helped the old across improvised bridges and through the sharp stubble of newly sickled wheat. At twelve resting places along the way, prayers were recited in makeshift chapels. That evening Locronan doors stayed open, and big rustic tables were laden with crêpes, bread, butter and cider. Last week the rituals ended with midnight Mass and a pageant re-enacting...
...charge against William J. Korpa in San Francisco Municipal Court was battery: he had beaten up two youths at a beach party. A husky 18-year-old with a stammer, Korpa had been in trouble with the police since he was 13, and his record, Judge Andrew J. Eyman felt, showed that "most of the usual avenues of rehabilitation had failed." Yet the court was reluctant to send the boy to jail, instead put him on two years' probation and added two conditions: 1) no drinking, and 2) attend church every Sunday...
