...your picture caption "Inchon landing, October 1950: Will history repeat?": Hank Walker, who risked his neck to get the picture, and the late meticulous planner, General Douglas Mac-Arthur, who risked his reputation in carrying out the landing, would be pained indeed at your arbitrary postponement of the event. September 15, 1950, was the only date within months when the enormous tides at Inchon, some 36 feet from ebb to flood, crested sufficiently to permit the landing to be made-successfully, as this former Marine can gratefully attest from firsthand experience...
...turned upside down. A cartoon of egg-nog-drinking turtles that he sold to Judge magazine in 1927 financed his marriage to fellow Oxford Student Helen Palmer, who helps him develop his story lines. His career got a big boost when his advertising cartoons for an insecticide made the caption "Quick, Henry, the Flit!" a common household quip. He was a cartoonist for the New York daily PM, created the prizewinning "Gerald McBoing-Boing" movie cartoons, and has completed a book of original songs for children...
...Learned to Love Women, in which, says Linda, "she absolutely wiped the screen with her leading man." And, she adds proudly, "her name was put above the title," which in the advertisements was accompanied by a shot of Romina sprawled nude on a towel decorated with water melons. The caption: HAVE A SLICE. Both films were banned for minors by the Italian censors, and some of Romina's racier scenes in Women, for which Mother had to give her ''private kissing lessons," were scissored at the insistence of the Vatican...

So could the short opening and closing numbers, the "Word Dances," in which couples whirl about the stage, freezing in various attitudes as one character or another delivers a cartoon caption. Every unscheduled shuffle or concession to momentum is instantly apparent and instantly annoying...
...Johnson. The Administration's domestic programs, he said, resembled a "20-mule team harnessed at night by a blind, one-armed idiot." There was the New Deal of Franklin Roosevelt, the Fair Deal of Harry Truman, and now the "ordeal" of Lyndon Johnson. He also produced a passable caption for a future Romney administration. "A new generation of progress," he said, "is forming up on the horizon." As usual, Romney laced his talk with moral homilies, and even his discussion of public responsibility carried a churchly ring. He told an Elks Club meeting in Idaho Falls that "the people...
