Conceived by Saunders and drawn by his partner Ken Ernst, the take-off on Capp seemed to contain too many dirty digs to be just good clean fun. When Mary Worth pays a visit to the summer home of "Comic Strip Artist Hal Rapp," he proves a coarse cad. "Hey! Who's this old biddy?" he demands. "I was expecting somebody younger! Get the idea?" Soon he is hurling a glass of booze (poured into a tumbler decorated with a Capp-created Shmoo) at one of the peons who turns out his strip Big Abe on the assembly line...
...investigators are dictator-hating New Dealer Morris L. Ernst, who has spent most of his career as a pugnacious battler for civil rights, and Republican William H. Munson, an ex-district attorney and New York State Supreme Court justice. The publicist: Sydney S. Baron, speechwriter for Tammany Boss Carjnine De Sapio. Under the agreement, the lawyers and their crew of private investigators will have free access to any persons or documents in the Dominican Republic, will be free to publish their findings without censorship.

A sharp-tongued crusader, Dr. Schmidt was a dedicated foe of the nice-Nelliness that long hampered treatment of venereal disease, set up the first genitourinary clinic west of the Alleghenies. When he accepted support from an organization that advertised publicly, he was charged by the A.M.A. with unethical conduct and was expelled (1930). He countered bitterly that organized medicine was against low-priced medical care, was backed by half a dozen other medical societies, eventually...
Total Security. The mock-hero of Author Ernst Pawel's From the Dark Tower unintentionally reminds the reader that Jonahs as well as Ahabs go looking for their private whales. Abe Rogoff is a middle-aged Jonah just asking to be swallowed. For ten years he has been a snickering outsider ("to take business seriously is a kind of disease") camouflaged as a docile insider in the pseudo-Gothic spires of Manhattan's Tower Mutual Life Insurance Co. Abe's disease might be diagnosed as undulant barricade fever, the nostalgic complaint of an ex-free-lover...
