Jonny Quest is this season's new animated series from Hanna-Barbera, producers of The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and Yogi Bear. Dr. Benton Quest, jack of all sciences, and his son Jonny were last week combatting a horde of enemy agents dressed as lizards, who were destroying shipping with laser beams in the area of the Sargasso Sea. Zow. It is hard to imagine better television than that...
...Indians and the Boston Red Sox wound up deadlocked for the lead at season's end-with the Yankees a bare two games behind-has the American League had a pennant race to compare. In five months the lead has changed hands as often as an Indianhead penny. Yogi Berra's Yankees, crippled as they were by injuries, have been in first place seven times; Al Lopez' White Sox, the punchless wonders, have visited there on eleven separate occasions; and Hank Bauer's Baltimore Orioles have tried twelve times to build themselves a permanent nest...

But Hank was still hauled off to a police station, photographed, fingerprinted and booked-"just like a criminal." Partly on the strength of Yogi Berra's now-classic testimony-"Nobody never hit nobody nohow"-a Manhattan grand jury cleared Bauer of the charge. Another sore point: the cavalier way the Yankees traded Bauer off to Kansas City in 1959 -notifying the press...
...good to miss. They didn't miss. Paul Conrad, the Los Angeles Times's skillful puncturer, managed to get in two telling darts: one showed Johnson surrounded by a host of his own images on TV screens-and fuming because one of the sets showed an interloping Yogi Bear. In the other Conrad cartoon, a complacent President patted himself on the back while informing the nation: "Extremism in defense of my program is no vice; and moderation in praise of my administration is no virtue...
