...wound up in Italy, and had the time of his life running guns to Tito's partisans. He was briefly infected by Communism, but he returned home to divorce, remarriage, P.T.A. meetings, more B pictures.

Early this month, on TV, they clinched the argument with ABC's delightful, top-rated Art Carney Meets Peter and the Wolf (TIME, Dec. 8), which gave millions of adults a chance to watch the Bairds' marionette fish, their nose-wrinkling rabbits, and even a Baird cat climbing a tree-all funny rather than cute.
