The creator of Doonesbury once led readers on a comic tour through Ronald Reagan's brain and lanced House Speaker Tip O'Neill for protecting Congressmen who were chummy with South Korean lobbyists. Last month a sequence ridiculing the antiabortion documentary The Silent Scream so worried the Universal Press Syndicate, Doonesbury's distributor, that the artist agreed to withdraw it. Trudeau was back in the headlines (and his strip briefly out of several papers) last week for giving a black eye to Ol' Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra...

...March for Life in Washington, as they have done on each anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, and were addressed by Reagan. His message: "These days, as never before, the momentum is with us." A graphic film that shows ultrasound images of a fetus being aborted, The Silent Scream, has received wide play and inflamed antiabortion passions, even though a number of medical authorities have denounced it as a distortion.
