...Thank goodness that we Americans have a modern-day Robin Hood Congressman patrolling the Administration's activities [Feb. 19]. Wouldn't the founders of the Constitution marvel at the integrity of Senator Sam Ervin, in his bold quest to keep the Administration honest? I'm glad to see a conservative Senator call the President down. Maybe people will pay a little more attention, instead of just writing it off as another radical maneuver to defame the Administration. With the support of the people and other congressional colleagues, maybe Senator Ervin can reinstate the Constitution's concept...
Well, he wasn't going to. At least, not yet. Indeed, tonight he would take the initiative for once. For years he had promised to take his wife to see The Mousetrap, which had opened in 1952.

...heroine of the piece, you'll remember, is Charlotte A. Cavatica, the helpful spider who saw Wilbur the pig through some pretty rough times. She saved his life and also taught him to understand and accept death. It is a very important lesson, one I was particularly glad to see the movie people had not altered for the sake of a happy ending. Physically, however, my friends and I look different from Mr. Garth Williams' definitive illustrations in the book. We have been made cuter, which I suppose is nothing to complain about...
