Scrooge is the embodiment of home-grown pluck and made-in-U.S.A. materialism, but Barks' stories always come up with someone even greedier, or some force of history that the duck cannot best. In the end, Scrooge's enjoyment of wealth remains essentially benign, childish in its selfishness, but childlike in its spirit. Whether the old miser would acquire this volume is a moot point. It is pricey; on the other wing, it is an investment. An entire genre of clothbound comic strips from Little Nemo to Doonesbury has flourished in the post-Pop era, but seldom...

That was precisely why he faced stubborn opposition from the country's ten provincial premiers, who retain primary control over natural resources, education and health.

Kane, who served as Atlanta bureau chief from 1970 to 1973, covered Helms during his first Senate campaign in 1972 and at the Republican convention last year. This time Kane spent five days with Helms at home and on the job and accompanied him to a Sunday-morning church service. Kane was treated to some BURNETT-CONTACT Southern hospitality when he joined the Senator and some of his cronies for shrimp jambalaya, poker and stories at the Raleigh antebellum mansion of North Carolina Superior...
