...their ebullience, the Japanese have preferred merely to grow, and so Tokyo continues to spread over the once green Kanto Plain like lava from an erupting volcano. As one Japanese psychologist wrote: "The Japanese is by nature prone to feel lonely, and he cannot bear to lead a solitary existence. He does not wish to live except where he is constantly surrounded by people." The adhesive that holds this mass together is the atmosphere of security in numbers so vast that mere compression affords privacy, of a sophistication and toughness that set Tokyo above and beyond any other Asian city...
...What a nice cabin," Andy murmurs to Sandra as they arrive for an assignation. But wait. The place has been booby-trapped by a buddy of Goulet's. When Andy opens the front door, a full-grown black bear strolls out. When the lovers sit on the couch, springs boing in all directions. When they start upstairs, the stairs collapse.

In the other Conrad cartoon, a complacent President patted himself on the back while informing the nation: "Extremism in defense of my program is no vice; and moderation in praise of my administration is no virtue...
...becomes a more modern exoskull, whose transparent visor frees, yet protects, nose, eyes and jaw. A single-finned surfboard, made of fiber-glassed balsa, is-above and below its shallow water line-both a platform and a watery missile. A laminated archer's bow, by Bill Stewart of Bear Archery Co., is the winglike translation of the human biceps, and thus its 35-lb. pull ally...
