...triumphs of Karl Marx, and decried, on another occasion, new governmental 'paternalism and socialism.' I was comforted when reading this very familiar language to note that I was in very good company. For the first attack I quoted was on Calvin Coolidge and the second on Herbert Hoover...
...forceful-and liberal-brush of the Washington Post's editorial cartoonist Herbert L. Block is ever at the ready to assault Herblock's favorite target: the conservative. Artistic discipline generally keeps his passionate partiality within decent bounds (although he once showed former Vice President Richard M. Nixon crawling out of a sewer). But last week, as he sighted in on conservative U.S. Senator (and heir to Phoenix's Goldwaters department store) Barry M. Goldwater, nothing held Herblock back.

Suggested (though hardly inspired) by Victor Herbert's 1903 operetta, in which Mother Goose was overstuffed with theatrical goodies, Disney's nursery crhymes involve Tom Piper (Tommy Sands), Mary Contrary (Annette), Boy Blue, Bo Peep, Willie Winkie, Simple Simon, Jack and Jill, and Mother Goose herself, along with some ringers called Roderigo, Gonzorgo, Barnaby (Ray Bolger) and the Toymaker (Ed Wynn).

This year Newspaper Collector Thomson branched out into magazine buying, was just about to close a deal for a big British periodical publishing house, Odhams Press Ltd. (200 magazines, newspapers, trade and technical journals and annual directories), when Press Lord Cecil Harmsworth King beat him to the checkbook (TIME, Feb. 24). Annoyed but undaunted, Thomson sat on his millions, waiting for another chance. Last week it came...
