...Albany, N.Y., a meeting of the State Association of Chiefs of Police condemned CBS-TV's Man Behind the Badge because "two male characters playing the roles of criminals were handsome, muscular individuals who would excite the admiration of any youngster," while the cop who caught them was fat, balding and well past middle...
...Last week an art contest, sponsored by a French magazine and UNESCO, bringing forth children's work from 34 countries, showed that the specters of hunger and war have somewhat receded. Regional moods could be detected. Scandinavian pictures were dark and brooding, Italian entries sunny and gay. One youngster from the Cameroons painted a fearsome witchdoctor, a Hungarian contestant did a festival scene with a hammer & sickle. Worldwide winner: Tulip Fields, an imaginative, untroubled pastoral by The Netherlands' Hans Evendik, 13. On the whole, the junior painters were far more refreshing than the current crop of older artists...
Jackpot Prize. Even the youngest tennis fans could remember rangy (6 ft. 3 in., 180 Ibs.) Pancho Gonzales, the self-taught youngster who smashed his way to the U.S. championship at 20, helped the U.S. successfully defend the Davis Cup, then cashed in by turning pro.

Said Hoad: "I've had tennis for the moment." ¶ In Cincinnati, meeting at the N.C.A.A. convention, the unofficial Ivy League finally made it official. Beginning in 1956, the Ivies-Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale-will meet one another in football on a round-robin basis for a regular conference...
...Said one reporter after roaming the shopping district of one of the state's busy coastal towns: "At least 90% of the shoppers were young women. At least 90% of the women were mothers. And it seemed to me that at least 90% of the mothers had one youngster toddling alongside, one in a stroller and a third in escrow. That's the finest combination I know for continued growth...
