Mullin draws for a New York audience, but he has become a national institution. Besides the World-Telly, where he has appeared six times a week for the past 23 years (except for vacations and one missed deadline when a cartoon was lost), Mullin runs sporadically in the other 20 Scripps-Howard papers, regularly in the weekly Sporting News. His madcap figures have also illustrated dozens of magazine articles (LIFE. Saturday Evening Post), peddled Ramblers for American Motors Corp., and brightened Frank G. Menke's Encyclopedia of Sports...
...their surprise, Orwell's sponsors of the Left Book Club discovered that they had not sent a tame canary down the mine to expire obligingly while testing the foul air; they had to deal with a cornered mine rat. Having sketched his Daumier-like cartoon of misery, George Orwell turned with ruthless, cold caricature on the socialists themselves, who thought they had the answer to the inhuman conditions he had described...
...clues, in the form of rhymed couplets ("Morning, noon and night, you'll find me tight") may help the player guess the identity of an object silhouetted behind a scrim curtain (in this case, an electric light socket).

...Chartres, and more. The soft radiance of medieval glass, coming from imperfections that fractured the light, was duplicated by hand craftsmanship. The gothic spectrum was expanded by modern chemistry to include an endless range of intermediate tones. But the laborious process of cutting glass to the pattern of the cartoon, painting in details with an enamel of metallic oxides and ground glass, baking it, and finally assembling it with strips of lead is almost unchanged. Villon worked several months on sketches (one-tenth actual size), made monthly trips to Reims to supervise the work. Said he: "I would love...
...such confusion was the man behind the week's news, General de Gaulle. Without a word being touched, the conservative Paris daily L'Aurore cried in boldface headlines: LET THE ELYSEE PALACE DESIGNATE DE GAULLE, and the Communist daily L'Humanité ran a frontpage cartoon of De Gaulle holding the dead body of Marianne, symbol of the French nation, with the appeal: "Bar the Route Against Military Dictatorship." Explained one censor: "De Gaulle's name is too much of a national symbol to tamper with." Translated from the French, that seemed to mean that...
