Other TIME Washington bureau members have been bird-dogging the transition story as well. John Stacks, who kept track of the Carter and Mondale staff operations during the campaign, was first to disclose a rift between key advisers on Carter's postelection team. Sometimes a crumb of information is dropped between the soup and nuts at a Georgetown dinner party. At one such soirée, Diplomatic Editor Jerrold L. Schecter learned that former L B J Staffer Joseph Califano had been asked to go secretly to Plains to talk with the President-elect. The tipoff: Califano was tracked...

It will be remembered that the original cartoon feature Fritz the Cat - largely the work of the animator Ralph Bakshi - so enraged Fritz's creator, the underground comic artist R. Crumb, that he disowned the whole movie. Crumb, a stringent satirist, had conjured up Fritz as a way to mock the poses of the pseudo hipster and to lay waste the giddy excess of the culture from which he sprang. Bakshi slicked Fritz up, cooled him out, and turned him into the perfect creature...
