That was in 1924, and the dapper Duffy never went back to Brooklyn. He now shares the record (with Rollin Kirby) of winning three Pulitzer Prizes for cartoons.

But to his adoring Beatrice, "the Other One" was her lord & master, her "little boy," and "man of destiny" rolled into one. Sidney was never ill, never daydreamed, never had a nightmare, never suffered from moral qualms or neurotic doubts. He could read and write sociological statistics day in & day out, and still have strength to work on numerous committees, coolly and tirelessly conducting "endless intrigues to persuade those in authority...
