Four years ago, Cartoonist Milton Caniff gave up his Terry and the Pirates to draw a brand-new comic strip around a handsome, tough character named Steve Canyon. Last week readers of Steve Canyon and Terry (now drawn by George Wunder) were having a hard time keeping the strips apart. Both Steve and Terry, returned to active service as Air Force officers, were in the process of making air rescues of American troops cut off in Red territory in the Korean war.

...chance passer-by gets the credit, in a popular legend, for saving the brand-new life of Abraham Lincoln, born 142 years ago this week in an insanitary cabin near Hodgensville, Ky. Soon after the future President came into the world under the supervision of a rural midwife, according to the story now retold by Chicago's Dr. Theodore Van Dellen, a neighbor named Isom Enlow "happened by."
