...Eleanor Roosevelt's seventieth birthday, eight years ago, the Washington Post published a congratulatory cartoon. In the Herblock drawing, a mother is pointing out the Statue of Liberty to her very small son. "Sure, I know who that is, mom," says the son. "That's Mrs. Roosevelt...
People as Pets. Born 60 years ago in northern California's lush, lettuce-growing Salinas valley, Steinbeck turned the area into a kind of strip-cartoon Yoknapatawpha County, where even the local Snopeses are kind to small animals. At times, the Salinas corn has been as high, if not as dry, as William Saroyan's young eye; at others, the view from Steinbeck's wayward literary bus has resembled Henry Miller's sex-sodden Tropics, minus the belly laughs...
Rarely has the disappearance of a radio and television commercial brought complaints from the customers-but that was what happened two years ago when a pair of cartoon characters named Bert and Harry Piel stopped delivering their sudsy-soft sell for Piel's Beer in the New York area.

Australia's Robert Menzies-could bring Tory fortunes crashing. Menzies was notably less belligerent than he had been earlier this year, saying...
...cartoon, in a satirical French weekly, shows Charles de Gaulle all gussied up in Louis XIV garb as he packs a herculean suit of armor and Cyrano-sized nosepiece for a sally across the Rhine. "Madame," says the general to his wife, "will you please not forget my pajamas." No Dish Twice. But France's President will have very little time for sleep in the course of a strenuous six-day visit to West Germany this week. From Hamburg in the north to Munich in the south, the Germans-at De Gaulle's request-have laid...
