...being telephoned not by the President, not by the Vice President, but . . . Stand by for "the Lieutenant Governor of Iowa!" Trudeau does not anthropomorphize his characters into Shmoos or possums, nor does he disguise the identities of real-life figures.

The familiar scenes were actually enacted last week, two years after the Paris peace agreement was supposed to have stopped the fighting in Viet Nam. This time the call for more military money to help anti-Communist forces in both Viet Nam and Cambodia came from President Gerald Ford. In a coordinated drive, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Vice President Nelson Rockefeller and Secretary of Defense James Schlesinger added their personal public appeals. Even Viet...
