Kibitzers' Drumfire. As Wang and Beam made their moves-stopping after each one to consult their superiors in Peking and Washington-kibitzers round the world kept up a drumfire of advice, exhortation and complaint (see cartoon). Keenly aware that the only bargaining counter which the U.S. had to offer was a change in the status of the offshore islands, Chinese Nationalist leaders regarded the Warsaw talks with undisguised alarm and despondency. In Taipei Nationalist Premier Chen Cheng implicitly warned the U.S. that his country would not be a party to any such bargain. Said Chen: "We will defend Quemoy...
Lomax aired his theories on England's highbrow Third Programme in one of the most popular series in BBC history (commemorated by Punch in a cartoon of a down-at-the-mouth hillbilly singing: "I've got those Alan-Lomax-ain't-been-around-to-record-me blues"). Now back in the U.S., Lomax would like to "turn the loudspeakers around" and convert Americans from a nation of audiophiles into folk performers.

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). Other times, the clues, and an accompanying cartoon, may refer to persons or sayings. The program is somewhat complicated by such intramural banking as selling one's clues in midshow for a $1,000 consolation prize. The prizes are all highly consoling, from Bergdorf Goodman minks to tickets to the London production of My Fair Lady, not so much...
