Returns from Monday's CRIMSON rock 'n' roll quiz reveal the pressing urgency of a course in this important subject. Harvard has always been considered a barren field for this corn, but each succeeding year that it is allowed to lie fallow the prospects of a respectable harvest will diminish. At one time and in proper places almost all the songs referred to in the quiz were commonly played, and often prayed to. But with the trend toward younger generations, a whole culture may soon be lost...
...next day. Thus was Johnny rewarded at 29 with his own variety network TV show. He thrashed through image changes, seven writers, eight directors and 39 weeks before CBS replaced him with The Arthur Murray Show, ABC then tried him on a daytime show, Who Do You Trust?

His personal view, however...
...psych is the commuter carefully tallying his "compatibility quotient" in a newspaper quiz ("Do you resist asking directions in a strange town?"). It is the applicant for a new job checking True or False on a personality test ("I have strange and peculiar thoughts." "I have never seen a vision"). Pop-psych is found in heavy-breathing advice to the lovelorn, warning girls to beware of their father fixations. It is in the domestic-advice columns telling the anxious mothers of bed-wetters that the children are resenting their "free-flowing" permissiveness. The "psychosomatic" cold and eating to "compensate" have...
