...Oliphant came to the Post from Australia at the end of a six-month search for a worthy successor to Cartoonist Paul Conrad, who left Denver for a better-paying job on the Los Angeles Times (TIME, Jan. 31).

Paul Conrad, the Los Angeles Times's skillful puncturer, managed to get in two telling darts: one showed Johnson surrounded by a host of his own images on TV screens-and fuming because one of the sets showed an interloping Yogi Bear. In the other Conrad cartoon, a complacent President patted himself on the back while informing the nation: "Extremism in defense of my program is no vice; and moderation...
