Gentle Restriction. The Republican-oriented Post has pledged Oliphant the same within-bounds latitude that Democrat Conrad enjoyed. "He's not allowed to contradict editorial policy," said Editorial Page Editor Mort Stern, "but he's within broad limits. It's never a question of 'do this.' " Cartoonist Oliphant is not likely to chafe at this gentle restriction. The Post endorsed Kennedy in 1960 and will back Johnson this year; Oliphant's attitudes are similar.

He simply watches the boy put on his uniform, sit at his desk, run an errand here and an errand there, find out how bosses talk to office boys ("Will power works miracles!"), pick up some wisdom at the water cooler ("Never trust a man with two nostrils"), peer into his first pay envelope, start a little office romance (Loredana Detto), survive a big office party, inspect a dozen dismal, petty employees who function as industrial implements but do not live...
