Since February, rumors have floated that Britain was sending commissioners to America to negotiate a reconciliation. An influential Pennsylvanian, and now George Washington's adjutant general, Joseph Reed, wrote to his chief: "To tell you the truth, my dear Sir, I am infinitely more afraid of these commissioners than of their generals and armies. If their propositions are plausible, and behaviour artful, I am apprehensive they will divide us."

In reality, they are life-size plastic balloons that Henry Kissinger carries around in his plane, and when things get bad, he inflates the balloons in different parts of the world to show the mean people that there is really something worthwhile to believe in. Tell your Daddy to write to Mr. Kissinger, who will mail him a set of Liz and Richard balloons for only $1.98. This will stop all the confusion, end the cold war and make...
