In the company of legends / by Kramer, Joan,author.(CARDINAL)648184; Heeley, David,author.(CARDINAL)648125;
Starting with their award winning profiles of Fred Astaire in 1980, Joan Kramer and David Heeley documented the lives and careers of many Hollywood legends, establishing a reputation for finding the un-findable, persuading the reluctant, and maintaining unique relationships long after the end credits rolled. These were recognized as high-quality, definitive film portraits, which revitalized the genre and made it a mainstay of television programming. This their insiders' view of the famous and the powerful: Katharine Hepburn, James Stewart, Johnny Carson, Frank Sinatra, Lew Wasserman, Ronald Reagan, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Jane Fonda, Richard Dreyfuss, Audrey Hepburn, and Bette Davis, among others. Kramer and Heeley's behind the scenes stories of the productions and the personalities involved are amusing, sometimes moving, often revealing, and have never been told before.

The liberty accorded the child of to-day is purely physical. Civil rights of the child in the twentieth century : Removal of perils of disease a step toward physical liberation ; Supplying the child's physical needs is not sufficient ; Child's social rights overlooked in the administration of orphan asylums ; Poor child's health and property confiscated in the custom of wet nursing ; We recognize justice only for those who can defend themselves.

With man the life of the body depends on the life of the spirit : Reflex action of the emotions on the body functions ; Child's body requires joy as much as food and air -- A survey of modern education : The precepts which govern moral education and instruction : Child expected to acquire virtues by imitation, instead of development ; Domination of the child's will the basis of education.

Physical development is organized by the aid of external stimuli, which may be determined experimentally : Tendency to develop his latent powers exists in the child's nature ; Environment should contain the means of auto-education. External stimuli may be determined in quality and quantity : Educative material used should contain in itself the control of error ; Quantity of material determined by the advent of abstraction in pupil ; Relation of stimuli to the age of the pupil.
