Beside these artists, the 20th Century cartoonists whose work made up a good three fourths of the show often seemed little more than hurried illustrators of passing quips. Yet the best of them, typified by Punch's present Editor Cyril K. Bird (portraits of England's beleaguered middle class) and the Evening Standard's bumptious David Low, showed the old English bite and a talent for good-natured selfcriticism, albeit streamlined...
...Louis last week the rambling Municipal Auditorium bustled with doctors who do a good deal of worrying and considerable arguing about their professional status. Supporting their claim to cover every branch of medicine and surgery, the 2,000 visitors at the annual convention of the American Osteopathic Association heard papers and discussions on neuropsychiatry, gynecology, proctology, techniques in brain surgery.

Slight, myopic Cardus is probably the world's only cricket critic who also doubles in brass and woodwinds as a music reviewer. For 30 years, in covering his "strange dichotomy," first for the Guardian and now for the Kemsley newspapers (the Sunday Times, the Sunday Chronicle), Cardus has played a deft prose symphony of his own that weaves through both his fields the tonal majesty...
