...weekly battle journalists became something else-students of a new medium. Each week, as they came from their mailboxes or newsstands, Americans experienced the powerful after-effects of a new art called "photojournalism." After LIFE, the Sinclair Lewis mid-American territory of Main Street, insulated and uninformed, passed into fiction forever. Said a first-grade teacher in Cleveland last week: "I remember cutting out the photographs when I was a child and bringing them into school to my teachers. And as a teacher I brought LIFE into the classroom and had the children cut out photographs. It was a teaching...
...show is probably the best detective series on TV. Unfortunately, it is not quite good enough. Though Falk is a delight to watch in one of the medium's meatiest roles, the writers frequently fail to support him with plausible scripts or the final surprise that their formula demands.

Concern for society is one thing, witch hunting is another. Besides, Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention were performing almost precisely the same things almost four years ago. Zappa's atrocities, as they were called...
...problem dates to 1950. Life's form of photojournalism and its appeal as an advertising medium were weakened by the advent of television," Louis Slovinsky, manager of Press Relations, said. The magazine's losses were "especially discouraging in light of the upsurge in the economy and the success of other news magazines...
