...satirist will probably discuss his striking respectability in a speech this Sunday, accompanying the Poets Theatre production of his one act play, Crawling Arnold, and their dramatization of his sketches. The apparent ease with which these cartoon strips can be translated into dramatic skits does not offend Feiffer the artist. Although his subtle, deceptively fine drawings will not come into play, his terse dialogue can well stand alone. And neither writer nor artist begrudge the other any success...
...Spain and Portugal and their colonies, and in Indonesia too. We have run into trouble in the past year in Laos, Iran, and Jordan for stories that displeased the censors.

Kennedy and Macmillan conversed for as long as five hours at a stretch-with only a few minutes out for tea-but. inevitably, they were able to produce little in the way of hard solutions...
...Bill Mouldin (146 pp.; Harper; $3.95). Herblock is clearly Mauldin's master and Daumier his god; this collection of his work proves that he has edged past the one and is moving determinedly, in quality of line and force of wit, toward the other. The best cartoon book of the season...
