This fiftieth anniversary Album of Drawings (an overly pretentious title for a not-at-all middle-aged collection) juxtaposes Booth, Lorenz, Saxon and Koren with Thurber, Arno, Hokinson and Irvin, along with William Steig, Charles Addams and Whitney Darrow, to chronicle a half century of the idiosyncracies of the American species. If some of the cartoons seem to depend too heavily on the actual social conditions of their time, we can rely on our memories and our knowledge of human nature to see their humor...
...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...

They reasoned that, in contrast...
...allowed to read the newspapers and thus learned that the C.D.U. had captured 43.9% of the vote in Berlin's local elections, thereby becoming the city's largest party. This was not enough, however, to elect Lorenz as mayor. Social Democratic Incumbent Klaus Schütz will keep the job, even though his party fell to second place -with 42.7% of the vote-because it can form a coalition with the Free Democrats, who garnered 7.2% of the vote...
