Here are Peter Arno's ageless chorines and satyrs; Helen Hokinson's gaggle of club women; Saul Steinberg's pun-and-ink illuminations; the Thurber people who always reminded Dorothy Parker of unbaked cookies. Here, too, is the ir repressible new generation of arche types: George Booth's slatternly couples-obviously the illegitimate descendants of George Price's cluttered screwballs; Lee Lorenz' literate animals, minerals and vegetables; and Ed Koren's celebrated shaggy people stories...

Small Events. But the high points of the show are twelve hanging scrolls, six by Itō Jakachu and six by Sakai Hōitsu.

Last year the Philadelphia Phillies alone poured $2 million into their farm system-including Spartanburg. Even so, the bush leagues continue to die off. From a peak of 59 leagues, 448 teams, and 42 million spectators in 1949, the minors withered to 18 circuits, 145 teams...
