When, as often, the Red editors are not able to find enough twistable news, they print as current events ancient stories and pictures about the rollicking 1890s and the depression-ridden 1930s. Old Charlie Chaplin movies are reported, not as achievements in comic art, but as true stories about U.S. treatment of tramps.

When the fevered radio advertisers of the 1930s tried to discover just how much dough could be squeezed out of Junior-a process approached in much the same spirit as that with which the Texas Rangers squeezed information out of Mexican bandits-it seemed improbable that the growing nervous system could stand much more stimulation, or that the tender, childish gullet could gulp down more bread, breakfast food, candy or soft drinks...
