Richie Havens, at Club 47 the other night, introduced "Maggie's Farm" saving, "This song is from Dylan's middle period, which has now been extended." He went on to describe Dylan's performance at the Woody Guthrie memorial concert, "Man! he did three songs. They're wild. Man! and he was smiling and that's nice. Smiling at everybody." The admiration in his voice, the rapt Club 47 audience, the enthusiastic reception in New York, all testify that the transformed Dylan still reigns...
With his key lieutenants, the prosecutor claimed, Amer began mailing out anti-Nasser pamphlets and plotting his next move. Among several plans discussed was one wild scheme for jumping Nasser outside his home, popping him into a sack and driving off with him. The final plan, as described by the prosecutor, called for Amer and his men to seize command of the armed forces, arrest a number of top officials, including all cabinet members, and take control of the government. For the necessary payoffs, the government claims that Nasr gave $140,000 to Radwan...
...Gerald Green has let memory do all the work. His hero, Albert Abrams, is a skinny, precocious, unheroic kid who tags fearfully after a gang of asphalt Iroquois called the Raiders.

He has managed to avoid arrest so far only because he is the grandson of the late Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov, and thus the scion of an old Bolshevik family. "I am definitely not a revolutionary, but neither am I an organization man," he says. "I must do what my heart tells me." Still uncowed after his dismissal, Litvinov announced that he would fight...
According to one survey, the five most popular children's shows in 1951 were Crusader Rabbit, Hopalong Cassidy, Wild Bill Hickok, Howdy Doody and Uncle Mistletoe. Last year's top five: Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bewitched, Time Tunnel, Lost in Space and The Green Hornet. The shift is not only a reflection on the state of children's TV but on the industry as a whole. As Child Psychologist Hilde Himmelweit, author of Television and the Child, says: "It seems to me a devastating indictment that while ten-year-olds still pick up some knowledge from television...
