Rumor has it that the newly-introduced Table-of-Contents, which brings the contributors off of the musty mast-head, is only the first step in Lampoon president Walker Lewis' drive to reform the layout. McClelland is digging up new type-faces so that the 'Poon can send the stupifying Bodoni back to the Congressional Record. The new look includes photographs, and the full-page ones in this issue are of Harvard's beautiful people." They must have been taken either by W. Laney Thornton...

Though it supported the Democratic reform movement in its battle to overthrow Tammany Chieftain Carmine De Sapio, it has derided the reformers for their self-righteousness. It backed John Lindsay for mayor, but does not hesitate to criticize his "waspishness."
