...Basis for complaint: a lurid, you-are-there style of report by United Press President Frank Bartholomew about how SAC's bombers had been launched "not once, not twice, but many times," toward "an enemy target," before recall by SAC's Fail Safe safety procedures (see next page). The story was old hat, but its timing was right for Gromyko to latch onto. Said Gromyko: "The government of the U.S.S.R. demands an immediate end to the practice...
After 45 years of turning out biting, broad-stroked drawings for the editorial page of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (circ. 403,068), crusading Cartoonist Daniel R. (for Robert) Fitzpatrick this week started a two-month vacation of "fishing and unwinding." While Fitz is away, the P-D plans to rerun some of his old cartoons and tap the syndicated work of the Washington Post and Times Herald's Herblock, who has been carried every Saturday for the past few years.

Fitz devised dingy Rat Alley as a cartoonland home for the criminal and corrupt, and his victims squirmed to find themselves there. Wailed one Missouri politician to a P-D staffer: "I could answer your...
...Jacob knows how to make a bronze face human-and interesting. The impressive garnering of Epstein's portraits, on view this week at Manhattan's James Graham & Sons gallery, offers convincing proof of his unique talent (see color page). The 19 bronze casts (the largest Epstein show in the U.S. in more than two decades) glow with richness, powerful psychological insight and sense of deeply observed human beings...
