These cartoonists may skimp on elegance at times, but in doing so they reach down one's thoat and throttle one's guts.

Some of them will deserve a place in the comics pantheon with the cartoons of Walt "Pogo" Kelly, one of the greatest stylists of all comic history...
...left 50 years ago, after the Red Army extinguished their sovereignty. When Lithuania declared its independence anew in March 1990, no one came. But now that Lithuania, along with Latvia and Estonia, has reclaimed its freedom from the rubble of the Soviet state, foreign ministers and diplomats seem almost breathless in their rush to return.

In fact, the three "unknowns" in the race -- Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Albert Makashov and Aman-geldy Tuleyev -- tried without...
What Kelley would probably admit she possesses, apart from blond cotton- candy hair, a breathless voice and a historic mansion in Washington's fancy Georgetown ghetto, is a drive for nonstop work and a tenacity that borders on obsession. Enemies and friends agree on that...
