Fearless & Merciless. Bobby has had far better luck in his crash program to register new voters. "The Democrats are there," he says, "and if we are going to win this election, we just have to reach them." As director of the program, Jack Kennedy selected his friend, Representative Frank ("Fearless") Thompson Jr., a handsome, hard-driving New Jersey Congressman who matches Bobby's own energy and relentless single-mindedness. Working around the clock and country, Frank Thompson has spent $100,000 on the program, recruiting 200,000 door-to-door canvassers to goad laggard voters into the registration centers...

The sets were sometimes too elegant and the costumes sometimes too flossy, but in one department of stagecraft the company had scored a clear triumph: New York, which last year had forced the women to wear brassieres, last week permitted them...
...situation-comedy series that arrived on television last week parodies all the others (see below). Called The Flintstones, the program uses first-rate animated cartoons in place of second-rate actors, and its approach to satire of 20th century life is by way of the Stone Age. Fred and Wilma Flintstone live in a split-level cave. His shaver is a clamshell with a bee in it. Everybody wears skins. When the neighbors collect for an evening of song, Fred picks out the tunes on the Stoneway...
