Huffed London's Daily Sketch: "It is believed that never before has the Queen been used-especially in a cartoon-to capture votes in an election." The London Times majestically remarked that the Queen's traditional detachment from politics "may not have been fully appreciated in Germany." The British Foreign Office "drew attention" to the matter in an icy phone call to the West German embassy...
...children. One delightful incorrigible, Alvin Lush, will not succumb. As they play and sing through an alphabet song, little Alvin changes the "s" in shore to "w," and, when the children form Mimi's name, old Alvin comes along and turns the "w's" upside down. A hot sketch that Alvin...
...history (and Gibbon's) is that events are shaped by "accidents of personality." Focusing on each country mainly through its key men, he succeeds best with those he knows.

...took over a year to finish it: long before brush was put to canvas, he did sketch after sketch of Frost's hands, his head, his posture. "I can't explain it very well," Chapin once said, "but it is the symbolic human gesture that interests me -not the gesture of hands and feet but the carriage of the human body and the human head." Here, the carriage is erect, proud, quietly intense, with wisdom coiled inside like a spring...
