...Ladies' Home Journal, the U.S. czar of child care, Dr. Benjamin Spock, 60, will start changing diapers this month for Redbook. His reason for leaving the Journal, he says, was "a drastic change in policy and staff last spring." Redbook's editors delightedly welcomed their new parent pacifier by putting him on the cover, and the doctor recalled his own babe-in-arms days. "Our parents were strict but very close to us," he wrote. So what had Mom, now 86, thought of her son's baby bible, which has sold 16 million paperback copies...
What is the upper age limit for becoming a parent? For men, the question is largely academic, because it is virtually impossible to be sure of a child's paternity, and most stories of centenarians whose wives produce children deserve nothing more than the knowing smiles they usually elicit.

...satirists are sometimes at a loss to find a really big fat Establishment to skewer.

To replace the Keef, Mississippi Democrat James O. Eastland, chairman of the parent Judiciary Committee, last week named a man who is every bit as liberal as Kefauver was, but far less flamboyant and aggressive: Michigan Democrat Philip A. Hart, 50.* While Kefauver often seemed to regard bigness as evil and businessmen as knaves, Hart served notice that he does not. "When...
Like a Loser. At the Post and its parent Curtis Publishing Co., the verdict landed with a thud. Its secondary effects had yet to be studied as advertisers assess the damage done to the Post's reputation. "The Story of a College Football Fix" was only one entry in Editor Clay Blair Jr.'s program of "sophisticated muckraking," designed to rejuvenate the magazine. That program has already generated three other libel actions-one of them filed by Alabama Coach Paul ("Bear") Bryant for the very same article...
