...seven years of Republican administration. The President, James Reston said last year, has touched upon all the great issues of the age and has come to grips with none of them; this record is unchanged. As one Southern Democrat remarked after last week's message, Mr. Eisenhower continues to feed the country on a diet of "homily grits...
...China, whose population is variously estimated to be anywhere from 580 million to 680 million, has had a curiously confused attitude toward bigness-alternating between a desire for manpower and a concern for so many mouths to feed. Early in 1956, Peking turned on a birth control campaign that plugged everything from up-to-date devices to the favorite oral contraceptive of Chinese herbalists: live tadpoles.

...Secretary Mitchell reconsiders his prediction that '60 will be "better than '59" and clandestinely orders a hat-shaped bottle of Haig & Haig to drink on the Capitol steps. From University Hall comes news that a rhinoceros has been appointed to the vacant Geography professorship. "It costs relatively little to feed," Dean Bundy explains, "and we can use the money saved elsewhere." To relieve exam period monotony, the Lampoon parodies the Wall Street Journal. The Journal returns with a parody of the Lampoon. The Lampoon parodies the parody. The Journal parodies the parody parody. The Lampoon asks for an eighty...
