...Interior Department champions its three-year-old Johnny Horizon, an earnest-looking, middle-aged white outdoorsman who, critics say, cannot possibly appeal to the young, to ethnic groups and to those who live in cities, where the pollution problem is worst. His message, "This land is your land . . . Keep it clean!", is not exactly a zinger, either. The U.S. Forest Service has countered with Woodsy the Owl, presumably a wise and likable bird whose message, "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute," may have a better chance of reaching children; they in turn might be counted on to badger their...
...split hoof and a bad case of worms. A Venezuelan agent bought him for a paltry $1,200 and shipped him off to Caracas, where he was sold to Millionaire Horseman Pedro Baptista for $6,000.

Earlier, Mitchell's men had blandly suggested that drug addiction was no concern of theirs...

The three-year-old program has so far sponsored about 30 fellows, at an estimated maximum of $20,000 each...
...wonderful, having our children grow up as the Sesame Street generation. But must this season's programs move along so fast (reading, Spanish, mathematics, etc.)? I get the feeling that if my three-year-old misses one day of Sesame Street, he may not get into the college of his choice...
