Since this is the season for TV reruns, it is perhaps fitting that the first McCarthy-Kennedy meeting left any reasonably informed citizen with the feeling that he had seen that segment somewhere before. And that he had seen a lot of better panel shows. Not an inch of new ground was broken, not a refreshing new idea voiced. Part of the problem, certainly, was the format, which called for three ABC newsmen sitting around a table in San Francisco's KGO-TV studios to pose questions, but inhibited direct dialogue between the Senators. McCarthy was particularly critical. "This...

...those who are older, have handicaps or come from racial minority groups-are so hard to place that the Los Angeles County Department of Adoptions has taken to broadcasting their availability on commercial TV. Since October, the department has shown 64 such children on a once-weekly quarter-hour segment of Ben Hunter's Matinee, a program of old movies interspersed with talk. Result: up to 35 phone calls immediately following each show and 34 of the children adopted, including a two-year-old boy with eye trouble, a one-year-old girl with club feet...

...more and more first-quarter earnings were reported last week, it was clear that a large segment of U.S. business was doing better and better. Observers were quick to point out that during the first three months of 1968, wages rose faster than prices, a situation that points to a profit squeeze ahead. And the returns were not yet complete enough to set a pattern in any major industry. Still, the statistics suggested that business made impressive gains compared to the recession-tinged first quarter of 1967. A sampling...
