...same time, guerrillas hiding in a hamlet 1,000 yds. from the camp poured 55 rounds from 81-mm. mortars smack into the compound where 400 U.S. advisers lived. They were right on target. Fifty-two billets were damaged, including some totally destroyed. In one, Cartoonist Bill Mauldin, who happened to be in Pleiku visiting his son Bruce, a 21-year-old U.S. Army warrant officer, leaped up at the first mortar blast, scampered outside in his underwear (see THE PRESS). Within 15 minutes, the guerrillas pulled back, covering their retreat with recoilless rifles and rifle grenades. Seven Americans died...
Hank Barrow of the Omaha WorldHerald emphasizes Goldwater's square jaw and set mouth to give an impression of resoluteness. Bill Mauldin of Chicago's Sun-Times takes an evenhanded position. 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.

Movie Director John Huston calls her "the best reporter I've ever known." Says Bill Mauldin, Chicago Sun-Times cartoonist: "Anybody who holds still for an interview by her is taking an awful chance, because he could very well lose a lot of skin." These contradictory observations stem from a common experience. Conrad, Huston and Mauldin all held still for interviews by Lillian Ross. Their names appear, amid a host...
...them tell it, Johnson is a blindfold cinch. "He doesn't give me any trouble at all," says the Los Angeles Times's gifted Paul Conrad (TIME, Jan. 31), who accentuates what he calls the President's "dish face." The Chicago Sun-Times's Bill Mauldin, who found Kennedy "inscrutable" and therefore hard to capture, ropes Johnson with ease: "He's scrutable. What he's thinking shows through." The Washington Star's James Berryman, who has harpooned Presidents for 31 years, considers Johnson "the answer to a cartoonist's prayer-with those...
