Save the Kids
Thanks to Al Feldstein and Jay Ward, we were able as children in the 1950s to see through the Cold War ruse that bamboozled our parents. Of course, their pre-TV indoctrination and life experience were quite different, especially when it came to questioning authority. For us, however -- raised on Fruit Loops and Hula Hoops -- war was just another product sold on TV. If we have anyone to thank for instilling in us an aversion to advertising, it's Al and Jay. God bless them both.
