...Francisco's Golden Gate Park, the Academy of Sciences has a larger-than-life rattlesnake jaw with fangs, which snaps shut at the push of a button, and an instant earthquake showing the heaving innards of the earth. Oregon's imaginative Museum of Science and Industry in Portland offers a "micro-zoo" that, by magnifying a drop of water 200 times, reveals the teeming life in it.

Although critical of Goldwater's politics, he draws the candidate with a broken nose and high forehead to convey a synthesis of the thoughtful man of action. Mauldin's philosophy: "You portray a guy for what he is, not what you think of his politics...
