...FIRST LOOKING INTO TIME Some have traveled in the realms of gold, Even "gum-chewers' sheetlets" have we seen; From newspapers we've tried the news to glean Amid the chaff that makes the paper sold; Until at length TIME'S pages we behold. Succinct, inclusive, accurate and clean. Artist−you clarify the passing scene In crispy English, vigorous and bold! Poet−your magic fire illuminates Th' event with connotations of old time!

As President Pringle himself remarked on reading the number. "I do not understand this at all." We do not understand it either...
...Lampoon, indeed, has too long served the American public with clean humor and clean advertising with all those fundamental forces in salient satire and irresistible irony to die uncherished and unwept. From coast to coast those who have followed Lample will mourn their departed leader. Life itself will be without a parent; Mother Advocate without a son. The entire nation will mourn this departed jester royal-this wanton wit and boisterous bard...
