...effort to control the tapeworm that plagued Icelanders for centuries. Enough time to give one pause. Actually, the city in recent years has been so undogmatic about enforcing the ban that it now has an estimated 3,000 dogs. The atmosphere is scarcely one to make a pup tense. Putting up whippet all, police almost never enforce the law (or collect the $200 fine) for harboring a bootleg mutt...

But most of the credit must go to the illustrator-magician who makes 90-year-old stories as immediate as the dreams of youth...
...advice seems only to annoy the President. In a speech to the N.A.M. last week, he declared, "I've been a little disappointed lately with some in the business community who have forgotten that feeding more dollars to Government [by increasing taxes] is like feeding a stray pup. It just follows you home and sits on your doorstep asking for more...
