...important to remember, of course, that not everyone who disagrees with the Catholic hierarchy on abortion and contraception is an anti-Catholic. But certain ugly notes recur. Two years ago, the Chicago chapter of the Planned Parenthood Federation sent a mailing to college newspapers that included a cartoon showing a Catholic bishop clutching a gasoline can to his breast as if it were a Bible; he was on his way to torch an abortion clinic. In 1972 the Xerox Corp. published a booklet directed at elementary and high school students called Population Control: Whose Right to Live? The authors...
Struck by Lightning (Sept. 19, CBS, 8:30 p.m. E.D.T.)

The world of Steig is populated mostly by grotesques, human and animal, gamboling through life. More often than not, critics treat his work as art. Steig is less sure. "I suppose every cartoonist likes to be called an artist," he says...
...crisis lasting 186 days-a new national record-and dating back to January when Premier Giulio Andreotti was toppled by the Communists' withdrawal of their parliamentary support. It also showed every sign of being a stopgap. "We will have a government of truce," quipped a deputy in a cartoon in Turin's daily Stampa Sera. "Hostilities will be resumed at a date to be agreed upon...
