...delay is damaging morale at the Commerce Department (where Strauss has been serving under a recess appointment since last November) and harshly punishing a man whom the U.S. has reason to remember with gratitude for his 1949 fight, as a member of the AEC, to get an H-bomb program under way. Strauss won the fight-against the opposition of his fellow AECommissioners and the physicists of the AEC's General Advisory Committee-just in time to keep the U.S.S.R. from gaining an H-bomb monopoly...

We thought it was pretty ultimate, remember?" "Boy, were we naive...
...breast-fixation. Mr. Feiffer uses a flexible combination of text and pictures thoroughly intermixed; nobody's else is quite like it, and no quotations simply of words will get across its effect. Even people not in the in-group, even (God save the mark) people who approve of H-bomb tests, might buy Passionella just to watch a master satirist making up his medium as he goes along...
