...Pogo, Walt Kelly's pseudo-sophisticated comic strip, spoke a kind of Pig-Russian and bore an unmistakable resemblance to Nikita Khrushchev. He even talked like Khrushchev. "You forget prominent Russian proverb!" he confided to his companion, a bearded, cigar-smoking goat with a remarkable resemblance to Fidel Castro: "The shortage will be divided among the peasants." The goat broke out lunch-cigars and sugar ("One thing my country got like the dickens! Is sugar! y tabacos!")-and the two settled down to a dialectical argument in dialect...
Three Canadian newspapers-the Toronto, Ont., Globe and Mail, the Kingston, Ont., Whig-Standard and the Regina, Sask., Leader-Post-dropped the pig-goat sequence.

Most of the mountain roads, however, are still little better than mountain-goat paths on which, says one survivor, "you lean to the inside, put your hand out toward space, and don't look...
...clear his conviction that historic events are rooted in the mysterious metaphysics of the heart. The weakness of Augustine's England is reflected in Gilbert, his Liberal M.P. brother-in-law, a man with "permanently indignant eyes" who is concerned solely with his intrigues against "that nasty little goat," Lloyd George, and thinks "free trade" is the major issue of the day. There is also Jeremy, a cynical Tory friend from Oxford, who, thanks to Freud, is also "a member of the first generation in the whole history of the human race completely to disbelieve in sin." He gibes...
