Although such considerations did not bother the majority of the committee, large segments of the population were disturbed at what they considered purely political appointments. Letters of protest poured into the Committee office from parents, from Parent-Teacher Associations, and even from teachers' and masters' associations. Sample letters read: "We disapprove... of this open, callous disregard of the best interests of our school children;" "You are destroying the confidence of parents, teachers, children, and masters;" "You have broken a sacred trust placed in you by citizens...
Across the Board. Van Doren, whom many a grateful parent regards as TV's own health-restoring antidote to Presley, is no narrow specialist like the culinary Marine captain or the opera-buff shoemaker of The $64,000 Question, but an agile Jack-of-all-subjects.

The prevalence of the pattern set Dr. Kissen to wondering: Since removal of patients to a sanatorium for treatment entails breaking love links, especially for children, is it a good idea to move so many...
...These are no casual, tomorrow-we-die marriages of convenience, or even-broadly speaking-marriages brought off at the point of a shotgun. They are authorized and supervised under stern rules that many a Stateside parent could wish for, with the U.S. Air Force playing the role of a straitlaced, old-fashioned Dutch uncle. According to regulations, the airman must have his commanding officer's permission to marry, and the British girl must prove 1) that she is legally free to marry, and 2) that she can meet the requirements of U.S. immigration, e.g., that she has no police...
