...responsibility for the attempts is written in disappearing ink. Nowhere could the committee establish that a U.S. President had authorized an international hit. The CIA agents involved almost always acted in the belief that they were sanctioned by higher authority−even "the highest authority"−but as North Carolina Democratic Senator Robert Morgan noted: "We have been able to establish neither responsibility nor innocence...

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...
