...genial caricature of an earnest economics major, who says of his future employers "It's not every day a bank gets a chance to have a summa," and a Groton-and-unspecified-club archetype named Peter, who calls himself the "narrative thread" of the show (it is a bald-faced lie). Several of these people have girls: Wilson a fresh-faced intense type, who could have graduated only from Putney; and Mike a pancake-faced, blase' type, who could have come from anywhere.

...Gimmick." Of all the funny-paper freedom fighters, none is more dogged than Harold L. Gray's 38-year-old Orphan Annie, a mop-haired moppet who has empty circles for eyes* and a bald, dinner-jacketed billionaire for a foster father. Last month, Annie and her Daddy Warbucks were holed up on a tropical island somewhere just off the map. Suddenly "enemy" planes appeared, carrying H-bombs. But Daddy and his pals were forearmed. Using what he calls his "ray gimmick," Daddy exploded the H-bombs prematurely, atomizing the attackers...
