...decades. In addition to producing dozens of illustrations that have run inside the magazine, he has drawn five cover portraits, including his famous depiction of President Lyndon Johnson as a beset King Lear for TIME'S 1967 Man of the Year issue. Since 1980, Levine's pen has added vivid detail to TIME'S reports on congressional and gubernatorial races. Says he: "Caricature is not portrait painting; you cannot dig that deep. You bring to it your own philosophy-about politics, about life. Mine is that politicians should be jumped on as often as possible...
...front of someone and make fun of him"-| and employs superb, old-fashioned draftsmanship to put character before comedy. "I try first to make a face believable," he says, "to give another dimension to a flat, linear drawing. Then my distortions seem more acceptable."

In France, the antiimmigrant, law-and-order National Front, a far-right organization led by Jean-Marie Le Pen, a former paratrooper, won 11% of the vote. The chief victims in France were the Communists, who have four seats in Socialist President Francois Mitterrand's Cabinet. They dropped to 11.3% of the vote, their lowest showing since 1932 and the most crushing blow in a long decline. In West Germany, it was the surge of the environmentalist...
