...older, was there at the same time, and the two men have similar profiles. Both were Ivy Leaguers who had edited their college humor publications (Perelman's, at Brown, was the Brown Jug); both made their names first as cartoonists at Judge and another popular gag mag, Life (pre-Luce); both branched out to movie work and books. One difference: Perelman went to live at the New Yorker; Geisel never got into that magazine, except in advertisements. Another difference: Perelman's early work, which burlesques either contemporary or antique topics that are unfamiliar to me, is a little...
...local papers from the Lexington Herald-Leader in Kentucky to the Fresno Bee in California. The Boston Herald called it the “Naked Ambition of Harvard students,” and the New York Daily News declared “Harvard coeds may turn crimson with nudie mag.” CNN ran a story on the issue, as did Fox TV.

Their meager, TV Guide-size dimensions meant that any model on display in their cramped surroundings had no acuter definition than a woman undressing across the courtyard, behind a screen, in the dark. I suppose that the dingy quality of the girlie pix, like the furtive...
...about late writers and finicky technology. In a conscious effort to coordinate content in all sections, Gellis has stepped in to proof the magazine on a number of occasions. Even when he isn’t critiquing every page and missing grammatical errors, Gellis has been there for the mag. Behind the scenes, late at night, early in the morning, he’s always ready for a fight with territorial and feisty magazine editors...
