...Francisco Bay (construction starts this week). Mohr rents Architect Donn Emmons' own house, high on a hill above Mill Valley, overlooking the bay. Neither of these glasshouse enthusiasts had a stone to throw at the architects. The only complaint came from Ralph, Mohr's half-dachshund. In the Emmons house, with its two-story living-room windows, the second floor is a mezzanine, and the only staircase is a ship's ladder with polished brass railings. Ralph could climb up with a great deal of wheezing. But he could never get down again by himself, until once...
...Clara Jo had a sheaf of Easter Seals and a lapel pin; for Clara Jo's cause Ike had $5, and for her stuffed dachshund he had an autograph. Pulling open a drawer of his desk, the President looked at the contents and remarked, "I'm afraid most of these things are for boys." (Actually, many of them are for the President, e.g., half a dozen bottles of assorted potions and pills.) But he found an 1890 (the year of his birth) silver dollar and a white ballpoint pen for the girl, and a penknife for her eleven...
Isetta's slogan, which has helped push production to 100 a day: "Less taxes per year (39 marks) than a city dachshund (60 marks)." Still stranger cars are ready to go on sale. One is the egg-shaped Brütsch, named after Stuttgart Designer Egon Brütsch, which stands barely 3 ft. high, has four forward speeds but no reverse, does 67 miles per gallon. Strangest of all is the Dornier Delta, which looks like an old-fashioned electric toaster on wheels; the front and back sections hinge at the top to form doors. The front seats...
After a Christmasy opening, filled with carolers and cuteness, Disney's anthropomorphic animals take charge: Jock the Scotty speaks with a burr; Trusty the bloodhound has a Southern accent; a dachshund talks like a comedy Dutchman; a borzoi spouts about Gorky with Russian flourishes. Whimsy is seldom more than a step ahead of whamsy: Jock and Trusty archly explain about sex to Lady just before Tramp does battle with three slavering mastiffs; a comic scene in the dog pound is closely followed by a parody of the "last mile" walk from the death house as a crazed...
...Harris' uphill fight to unseat Democratic Congressman Byron Rogers. "Ladies," said Mamie, "I hope you'll all vote for her. We women have to have a voice in things." The home movie cameras ground away, and people with Brownies worked furiously while Mamie met a dachshund pup named Ike, told him: "Why hello, Ike, I'll tell Ike I saw you today." She shook more hands and gave more autographs in a big, scrawling hand. When she climbed into her limousine, she was still clutching her doughnut. A thoroughly captivated crowd watched her wave...
