Twain Vein. The Smotherses were obviously trying to draw CBS into open battle. Dick was at an auto show in New York, but Tom began the week by traveling to Toronto to watch the show on the independent Canadian TV network.

The silk-screen method is a medium particularly well suited to alternating blacks and whites so the background and foreground read over each other in a reverse transparency.
