...ZEPPO, THE MISSING KENNEDY BROTHER, announced one headline. CAN HOMOS BE DENTISTS? asked another. ZEN AND THE ART OF METHADONE MAINTENANCE, read a third. It was only an irreverent National Lampoon parody of a relative newcomer to the U.S. magazine scene, New Times, but some readers might have taken it for the real thing. Along with eye-grabbing covers-a grisly painting of John Kennedy at the instant of his assassination; a shot of a grinning skin-mag publisher lying nude under a heap of life-size plastic porn dolls-New Times's most familiar trademark is an addiction...

While about 30 people looked on, Sinatra moved across the lobby, addressing a passerby: "You know Miss Cheshire, don't you? That stench...
...Duck? divides a genre into four cavorters: Zeppo, once charitably labeled the Good Looking One; Harpo, Rumpelstiltskin with mild satyriasis; Chico, the Italian Defamation League; and the great, nay immoral Groucho. Under his pun-fulfilled guidance the boys carom delightfully from the primitive surrealism of The Cocoanuts on beyond that neglected antiwar pageant Duck Soup, to the classic double bill, A Day At The Races and A Night At The Opera...
