...deadliest denizen of Cartoonist Al (Li'l Abner) Capp's disorderly world is the Lower Slobbovian Bald Iggle, the gentle-looking bird that fixes a maddening, sad-eyed stare upon anybody who tells a lie. If Lower Slobbovia really existed and the U.S. needed an ambassador there, Washington would do well to send Manhattan Dress Merchant Maxwell Henry Gluck.

...Intelligent Conservatism." Bald, hawk-faced Jack Knight, 62, is one of the most influential publishers in the U.S. A shrewd, cost-conscious businessman, he has long articulated a middle-of-the-road political philosophy which mirrors a broad cross section of business thinking; he calls it "intelligent conservatism." While his slick, tricked-up papers seem often to reflect the auditor more than the editor in Knight's nature, they are closely identified with their communities and powerful in local and national politics. (In Illinois politicians say that an endorsement by the Daily News is an automatic guarantee...
