Older politicians advised him that it would be political folly to demand more money so early in his regime, but Shivers ignored them and even dared to use some uncomplimentary language about Texas.

She doesn't care for spacemen (Buck Rogers), cowboys (the Lone Ranger) or clear-eyed adolescent adventurers (Jack Armstrong). As writer-producer-director of Let's Pretend (Sat. 11:05 a.m., CBS), she has stuck to her conviction that young radio listeners still like giants, witches and fairy godmothers best.
