...have one quibble with the Lampoon which concerns a story titled "O.D. Christmas," signed by one "CBW." There is no CBW visible on the 'Poon's masthead these days, but avid followers of the magazine like myself will remember a Clement B. Wood who enhanced the magazine's pages in the Good Old Days of '47, '48, and '49. Perhaps he has sent in some new material to revive a lagging Lamphoom, but I doubt it. If the story is a re-print, and I rather think it is, the Lamphoom has an obligation to its readers to so identify...
Genesis to Revelations. The new Truman was charming the visiting editors right down out of the masthead. Though he had often upbraided the editors as heatedly as Franklin Roosevelt, he smoothly refused the chance to deliver a scolding in person. He had no specific complaints today, said Harry Truman with a disarming grin.

Upset Apple Cart. Wallace, as his wife says, "likes to upset the apple cart." He periodically rejiggers the masthead, rearranging the Rovers' names according to their performance. He does not like too many hard & fast rules, and he does like to keep everybody guessing...
...readers of Pennsylvania's Centre Daily Times (circ. 8,795), the paper's chatty "Daily Half Colyum" was as familiar a fixture as the masthead. Ever since 1925, when Arthur Ray Warnock, dean of men at the Pennsylvania State College, began his Colyum, no issue of the paper had appeared without his low-keyed, often humorous comments on everything from world problems to flower gardens. But sometimes he had come mighty close to missing a deadline...
