...anything from sex to the Bomb. But satire is a parasitical art, no stronger than its host. Folk singers, the. military, Freud and faith, all have been familiar targets for over a generation. Today Tomfoolery, a chrestomathy of 28 Lehrer hits, seems about as audacious as a glass of eggnog...
...eggnog is not without its spice or season. Lehrer's best lyrics are feats of compression; works like Masochism Tango ("You can raise welts like nobody else") or When You Are Old and Gray ("Say you'll love and trust me/ For I know you'll disgust me") have retained their piquancy. Surprisingly, it is Lehrer's melodies that show the fewest wrinkles, switching from exuberant marches to minor ballads with a fluency that went unnoticed in his postgraduate period.

If there are no new achievements in economics, energy and foreign policy, they will turn elsewhere...
...other flavorings are added. Federal Distillers in Cambridge, Mass., the first liquor company to go into bovine beverages, has a special Ice Box line that includes such cool, hot sellers as premixed Chocolate Sombreros (creme de cacao with a dairy base), and a Chocolate Chaser (creme de cacao and eggnog). Glenmore Distilleries in Louisville calls its creamy spirits Snowshakes. Chicago's Consolidated Distilled Products is milking the new fad by marketing Aberdeen Cows, which come in unusual flavors such as coconut and walnut. Prices range from about $2.50 to $4 a fifth...
