...stuff even though they don't agree with me. They feel it's a signed piece of work, an example of personal opinion." This liberty has brought U.S. editorial cartooning to something of a rebirth. It is a renaissance with too few galleries; the great epoch of newspapers is gone and with it, many of the journals that carried the art of the great cartoonists. Yet the work somehow finds space in the surviving dailies, in magazines and in student publications.

The only extraordinary event during her lifetime-her rescue from persecution and death...

For those who were listening to their radios in 1927, however, or who have the wit and imagination to re-create the epoch in their own minds, Lindbergh's daring, lonely journey will remain forever matchless, a storied victory of one man over nature, his own fears and the imponderable odds against...
