...TALE OF PETER RABBIT (Wonderland). This tops all other versions of the oft-told Beatrix Potter classic. Vivien Leigh tells it as if she had grown up at the foot of the old fir tree, and Lyricist David Croft and Musician Cyril Ornadel hit it off like Lerner & Loewe. It takes a hard heart not to melt at naughty Peter's wistful "Why do I do it?" Pity that this team has cut only two other Potter records: The Tale of Benjamin Bunny and The Tale of Jemima Puddleduck...
...pride were all apeset. Father said: "How horribull, she's been pythoned! Alligator a drink-you kids call the dogtor and giraffter that go bison aspirin. We'll keep her lion down hunter the table and cassowary ibis on the rest of TIME." That'll rabbit...
Last week Welch, 66, solemnly advised an audience in Salt Lake City that the U.S. involvement in Viet Nam is nothing less than a diabolic Communist plot-using the old Brer Rabbit reverse psychology-to speed up Government regimentation and to push the country into "socialism and totalitarianism."

They bristle with real bones, felt-covered bric-a-brac, and unglamorized junk. "All the little tragedies are evident in junk," he says, and he has made the junk heap his souvenir album...
Winnie the Pooh and The Honey Tree turns the Disney animaters loose on a tribute to A. A. Milne's classic storybook characters. The drawings are a rough but not treasonable facsimile of the famous Shepard illustrations, pleasantly introducing Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Owl and Rabbit. It is the voices that sound dead wrong. Speaking for Pooh, Comedian Sterling Holloway makes Christopher Robin's friend seem a dry American, as if the world of Milne had collided in Disneyland with the world of Twain. And Pooh purists will certainly wince at a new batch of song lyrics, starting with...
