...counting clickers to "see what people really do at airports, how far they walk, their interchange problems." The results of his findings were dramatized by longtime Saarinen Friend Charles Eames-for the benefit of the FAA and airline officials who needed convincing about mobile lounges-in a ten-minute cartoon film whose sound track featured the tramp-tramp, clunk-clunk of aching feet plodding through the measureless tunnels of the nation's sprawling airports...
...Yorker carried a memorable cartoon showing two coal miners looking up goggle-eyed, and one exclaiming: "For gosh sakes. here comes Mrs. Roosevelt." It was hilarious if only because it was so true: soon afterward Eleanor Roosevelt indeed descended into a coal mine. In those days she had not yet become controversial: to her critics she was a gadabout and do-gooder, to her admirers she was a dedicated friend of the oppressed, and to everyone, she was a marvel of omnipresent vitality.

From 1955 to 1960, pompous, pint-sized Bert and his self-conscious older brother Harry (with voices supplied by radio's Ray Goulding and Bob Elliott) fumbled engagingly through ads witty enough to keep chortling viewers out of the bathroom during program breaks. Last week Bert and Harry fans...
