Lack of such frankly partisan symbols in McCutcheon's celebrated cartoons was undoubtedly one reason why another political artist was sought for the Tribune. For three years gentle, grey Cartoonist McCutcheon, now 66, has conserved his strength by taking frequent long vacations, sometimes drawing only three cartoons a week when on duty. In his anxiety to flay the New Deal Publisher McCormick has not been enthusiastic about Mr. McCutcheon's calm, unvitriolic pictures. Last May Colonel McCormick deleted a pro-New Deal McCutcheon cartoon. On two other occasions McCutcheon drawings have been jerked from the Tribune after appearing...
Assisted by three of his seven red-headed sons, red-bearded Lawrence Saint made the Hildrup windows, like all his stained glass, in traditional medieval fashion, from the "cartoon" or original drawing through the firing and blowing of the glass to assembling a mosaic of 2,850 variously colored pieces in the two 10-ft. windows.

...cartoon was less funny than the comments with which Dr. Abbot dressed up an astrophysical lecture in Rochester a few months ago. At that event learned Dr. Abbot, 64, told how a policeman once tried to arrest lanky Marine Biologist William Beebe for probing in a snow bank for a dead goldfish. He gave a whistling imitation of an Algerian shepherd boy whom he once heard while searching Algeria for a cloudless site for a solar observatory. He concluded with a baritone rendition of a sea ditty about "a ship that went for to sail with a whale...
