...Lampoon's Harvard-Yale Game issue kicks the Old Grad and the pigskin squarely and sometimes humorously. Eighteen photographs supplement the parody on sport sidelights and interviews with Grand Old Men of Football. Perhaps Lampy's switch to photography is a last gasp effort to beat the cartoon nemesis--it may not succeed...
Also on the bill is Walt Disney's first try at CinemaScope, a Technicolor cartoon called Toot, Whistle, Plunk, and Boom. Though the cartoon shows a strong UPA influence, it clings to the saccharine sentimentality that has often plagued Disney. Cluttered with tweeting birds and comic cave men, the wide screen loses its panoramic effect in a flood of blaring music and garish color...
Last week L'Humanite, the Communist daily in Paris, published a cartoon showing Secretary of State Dulles, in a snappy convertible, pulling up at a filling station operated by French Premier Joseph Laniel and ordering $385 million worth of French blood. (The U.S. recently decided to increase dollar aid to France that amount to carry on the Indo-China war.)

After tolling off the well-known drainages (76,000 casualties and $5 billion...

A wiry, goateed man who still suffers from the "cab-horse knees" acquired in a World War II Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, Cartoonist Ronald Searle has seen St. Trinian's become a part of the British public school folklore.

It was so successful that a French cartoon soon complained that half of mankind had become "daguerreocrazed," while the rest was "daguerreomazed."*Everything in sight was caught on the magic plates-Victor Hugo's hand, the moon, the 30th reunion of the Yale class of 1810, President John Quincy Adams (first U.S. President ever photographed). But already...
