Suez? Low seems to have supported Eden at first and then relented because things worked out differently, so there is no fire in his eye.


Stalin's death, Churchill's farewell to public life, Hillary and Tensing on Everest, Quemoy and Matsu- all subjects for a noble anger or an accolade. Instead the cartoons seem to deal with foibles. Their Eisenhower is insubstantial. Did Low decide to let well enough alone when he made his selections?   HE OFTEN drew the bomb.   He showed puny men attacked by splendidly tyrannical machines. And Khrushchev turned out to be prime copy for the most witty caricaturist of them all. But, but and but. Look in this book for weak mortals and only on occasion for virtues and vices on the heroic scale. Read the moderately brief text, not for captions, sometimes for tart epigrams, once in a while for an explosion in the middle of your fixed ideas.
