...Half Century" (Jan. 2, 1950), to an atmospheric oil of a saturnine King Faisal, the Man of the Year (Jan. 6, 1975), by Bob Peak. Anwar Sadat's head is perched on sphinxlike paws in a pencil-and-ink sketch by Isadore Seltzer (May 17, 1971), while Peter Max produced a comic mixed-media collage for our "Is Prince Charles Necessary?" cover (June 27, 1969). The brooding poet Robert Lowell is given a crayoned zigzag crown of laurels by Sidney Nolan (June 2, 1967), while Boris Artzybasheff painted a blue-faced underwater Jacques Cousteau (March 28, 1960).

The Kitchen's Italian cook will be all right as long as he can change women every month. Max, a muscle-bound American butcher, likes to take it easy with a Schlitz and a good cock joke; still, the way those waitresses get themselves laid is not a laughing matter to his way of thinking, because their aborted "babies" had a right to life. The Irishman goes home...
Wallace just can't deal with Carter the same way he bludgeoned poor Albert Brewer. Not only does he have to speak the sanitized language of the presidential campaign, he must as well watch Carter take a tip from Max Weber and take advantage of the routinization of his charisma, the routinization of his demagoguery...
