Such laxness can lead to trouble. Many newspapers followed Sherri Finkbine's quest for an abortion with sickening thoroughness. The Monroe suicide, admittedly front-page news, was ballooned to ludicrous proportions: 436 column inches in a single issue of the New York Daily News, 500 the same day in the New York Post-and 799 in the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. In the cool of autumn, the papers might have had better sense...
...actors, significantly named, Mary, Joseph, and their child, Michael (Hebrew for "like unto God"). They move among people who, except for the actors, are obsessed with the dread of death and try to escape their fears through cruelty, crime, self-torture, and superstition. The object of the knight's quest is to know--not just to hope or trust, but to know--whether there is "something beyond the darkness" before he dies...

Yaleman ('33) Price will shop for items priced mostly under $100. and Sears will feature them in its 1,500-page catalogue. The venture, conceded one Searsman, is "highly exploratory...

But how long is it since TV has unearthed a new and glamorous femme star to slake the thirst of the aforementioned viewer in quest of relaxation? . . . Occasionally the sought-after glamor in the form of white tie, tails, ballroom scenes and pretty dolls will show up on a Garry Moore show or a Perry Como episode, but, by and large, whether it's new public affairs or the run-of-the-mill Hollywood...
