...Russian embassy on 16th Street one morning last week and picked up a burly passenger bundled up in a double-breasted blue overcoat. Escorted by two motorcycle cops, the car sped to the White House, where the State Department's Protocol Chief Wiley Buchanan Jr. escorted the visitor into the oval, green-walled office of the President of the United States...

In a cartoon that wryly helped to explain its own survival, Szpilki showed a technician standing with a visitor in front of a Rube Goldbergian version of an electronic brain.
