...Bostonian whose modest prayer is that his mind will always be larger than his frame. Fred's father, a Back Bay minister, sent him to Groton (it tasted awful but was good for him, he feels-like milk of magnesia). At Harvard he was on the Lampoon with Cartoonist Gluyas Williams and the late Robert Benchley. Allen landed his first editorial job under Ellery Sedgwick on the Atlantic Monthly, was managing editor of the old Century at only 26. He joined Harper's in 1923, and became its editor...
...eyewitness account by a visitor from Mars who had read a guidebook before coming. Pink-faced, bushy-browed Westbrook Pegler, stoutly filling a grey suit, chatted amiably with his dandiacal little ex-boss, publisher Roy Howard, who wore his familiar matching shirt, bow tie and breast-pocket handkerchief.

Mother Nature, in a misguided moment, endowed him with the ability to transmit visual whammies. A single whammy can stop a policeman in his tracks. Slightly stronger whammies will tame a gorilla or stun a herd of oxen. Rarely, only rarely, does Fleegle loose the lightning bolt of a double whammy, which is powerful enough...
...world of the comics was never the same after two Cleveland teen-agers turned Superman loose in it. In 15 years, he made over $400,000 for Writer Jerome Siegel and Cartoonist Joseph Shuster, and inspired a score of imitators. Superman was the first cartoon hero to make the reverse jump from comic books to newspaper syndication...
