...turned nasty as dark-green police vans rolled up to a side entrance. When police tried to herd their prisoners into the vans, someone shouted, "Don't let them!" and the riot was on. The scuffle, brief but bloody, finally ended when a P.A.T. lawyer borrowed a bull horn from the police and calmed down his followers...
Died. Harpo Marx, 75, wackiest and most wonderful of the four Marx Brothers, a master of madhouse pantomime in battered plug hat and shocking pink wig, whose endless trove of sight gags (a skirt needs straightening? Whee! Cut it off.) and leering, horn-honking, pinching pursuit of squeaking blondes kept a generation of Americans in helpless laughter-and a thousand comedians trying to top him; following heart surgery; in Hollywood.

Lyndon was unmistakably Lyndon, right down to the bifurcated chin. Barry was incontrovertibly Barry-box jaw, brow wrinkles, horn rims and all. Few U.S. cartoonists have so deftly distilled the spirit of these two men as Australia's Patrick Bruce Oliphant, 29, a recent arrival who has not yet set eyes on either Johnson or Goldwater and who took over the editorial cartoonist's drawing board at the Denver Post only last month...
