telling CBS that we were actually losing
it. What was worse, at the very same
time Mel Laird was with ABC telling
them that while we weren't actually
winning, we weren't really losing
either. Just doing sort of so-so.)
Hank had told Dick that there was
only one Assistant for National Security
Affairs, and he didn't want to have to
kowtow to any kibbitzing Secretaries of
State or Defense when discussing global
strategy. Spiggy suggested that Hank
come on down to the rumpus room to
play some Ping-Pong and relax. Anyway,
he said, he wanted to hear how Hank's
strategy worked on Jill St. John's globes
last night.
Hank sort of stared at Spiggy with
those funny grey eyes of his (they sort
of look in two directions at once, if you
know what I m e a n ) . Hank told Spiggy
that he (Spiggy) knew that he (Hank)
didn't like people snooping about his per-

Hank about how were his new girls work-
ing out in their new offices. Hank sort of
looked at him slitty eyed and said just
fine. Spiggy said gee that was funny, be-
cause he hadn't heard them screaming
yet...so he guessed Hank hadn't fully
briefed them yet on their duties. Hank
bounced the ball on the table and said
that they were still too busy cleaning all
the Yo-Yo's and squirt pistols out of
Spiggy's office to do any work yet. Then
Hank turned to me and said, " D o you
think I should let him have his Teddy
bear back, or hold it for ransom?"
At that point, I realized that they were
going to be having an argument. Okay,
DO NOT DISTURB!

ing Ping-Pong, which can be very tiring.
Hank sort of slammed down the
paddle and said no, thank you, but he
had to be going, and Spiggy chimed in
and said yes, because Hank's Harem
(that's what Maxine Cheshire calls
Hank's girlfriends) must really take the
wind out of his sails. Hank spun around
and threw the paddle at Spiggy and
yelled something about how at least he
wasn't an illiterate flunky whose only
claim to distinction was a Greek grand-
father who got himself elected notary
public by stuffing the ballot box with
old figs. Spiggy threw his paddle at Hank
and missed. Hank threw a pool ball at
Spiggy saying that everyday he, Hank,
prepares a summary of all-important
international activities for Dick with a
30-man staff, which is 29 more than
Spiggy's staff. Spiggy started chasing
Hank around the Ping-Pong table with
a pool cue yelling that if somebody had
to do a summary of Hank's nightly ac-
tivities, they'd have to hire the entire
editorial staff of the Washington Post.
Then Spiggy caught Hank by the collar
and yelled something about how if Dick
ever found out about Hank and Princess
Anne, he'd can him before you could say
oy gevult.
Well, at that point, Randy, my oldest,
came in to see what all the fuss was and
broke up the scuffle. H e told Hank he'd
better go home before there was any
more trouble. Hank grabbed his briefcase
and stormed out the door making an odd
hissing noise, like a leaky radiator.
Spiggy said good riddance and why
did I invite that pompous creep in the
first place. Then he went downstairs to
sort of bang around for awhile.
Well, I'm afraid, like it or not, Spiggy
and Hank are going to have to meet
again this evening. Hank must have
picked up the wrong briefcase because,
after he left, Hank's report was on the
TV and Spiggy can't find his scorecards

jungle gym suffering skinned knees. At
Whet Your Weasel the height of the riot, a British racing

trike was overturned and set afire. The
confrontation was brief but bloody.
12:30 P . M . — The dissenters still held
the sandbox. They refused to return to
the room until their demands were met.
I called Mrs. Massey and she began a
phased withdrawal of the white-belts.
For the time being, I felt relieved; fur-
ther violence and destruction had been
averted.
1:29 P . M . — It was n a p period, and
the lunch boxes were still in the class-
room. I sent word that I would agree
to discuss their demands. One by one the
radicals began to drift back to their seats
to eat.
1:34 P . M . — Mrs. Massey called and
explained she had definite proof the riot
was Communist inspired. With that news,
I phoned the director. He advocated

A great deal of misunderstanding —
and that is the charitable term for it —
has arisen about John's role in foreign
policy. Many of my critics — and their
sincerity is unquestioned, at least by
me — have thought of him as the "gray
eminence" in my administration. I will
concede the "eminence" part (I am sure
John appreciates being called "gray,"
for other reasons) but I must emphasize
that he does not dictate — or even in-
fluence — foreign policy. I, not he, faced

he, was victimized by thugs in Vene-

Dear Mr. Siegel:
We accept your generous offer to fight Uganda exclu-
sively for your network for the fee you proposed. You
ask about our track record with wars. Well, I must admit
that it's hardly Napoleonic. We've had only a civil war
and since that one was with ourselves, I really don't know
how to score it. So, maybe you'd better pencil us in as the
losers.
But please don't worry: N o matter how the script is
written, we'll give you a lively performance. Our people
are basically a restless and surly bunch who'll be delighted
to have such a lucrative outlet for the violence that usu-
ally takes the form of wife and sheep beating.
If it's possible, I would like to arrange to fight part of
the war in Uganda and part in Rwanda — sort of a
home-and-home series — so that neither place gets too
torn up.
Very truly yours,

TO: Arnold Siegel

F R O M : George Meals
Okay, let's do it with Uganda and Rwanda. Not The
Uganda-Rwanda Hour but The Uganda-Rwanda Show.
Just 30 minutes if they don't have anything to fight about
that week. Remember that whatever load they shoot has
to carry through our whole spring schedule. We don't
want to have to pad with stock footage from Nigeria.
So, it'll be a half hour once a week, probably at 9 or
9:30. We don't want it too close to either the 7 or 11
news or people will lose track of which war is news and
which is entertainment. T o underscore the fun of the
thing, I'd like Archer to whip up some kind of catchy
theme song along the lines of "Nothing could be grander
than the dander of Uganda in the morning." Something
like that — not with "morning," of course; we'd need the
right time of the show.
I'd like your thoughts, Arnie, on which of two ways
we should produce the war. We can either have the two
countries fight all week while we keep taping and then
edit it down to the highlights, or we can have them fight
just once a week for a half hour if we think both the
armies have a good sustained take in them. Of course, a
lot will depend on the director. N o matter how he works, "Sorry, no, but if you folks ever get up around

As a result of President Nixon's proclamation of "a personal
tribute and a living memorial" to Vice-President Spiro T.
Agnew, the guards at the White House will shortly be garbed
in uniforms much like these worn by the Greek Army. The
costume is thought to date back to the Graeco-Turkish wars,
when an entire regiment of Greek soldiers slipped through

Why is this man so unconcerned?

THE FATAL FOOT
Throughout its finding, the Report constantly plays down the
importance of the fact that the Vice-President w a s shot in the
foot. To compound this error, they also fail to ask at a n y point
the very obvious question: Where was the root at the time it
was shot? There w a s no exit wound a s such in the foot, although
there were two wounds.
Therefore the bullet must have passed through the foot and
exited at some other point in the body. There were no other aper-
tures in the body large enough to play this role except for the
celebrated Agnew Hole. I contend, therefore, that the bullet
passed through the foot and exited through the Agnew Hole.
There is ample evidence to support this theory. Seconds before
Harry took his famous film, the Vice-President's foot could have
actually been located nowhere else but in the region of his
During the course of its investigation, the Commission

discovered a hitherto unmentioned fact. There is overwhelm-
ing evidence that at the time of his death, the Vice-President
had an ice pick in his head. The pick, of a kind commonly
used for the reduction of block ice into cubes, granules and
shavings, was lodged in the Vice-President's skull at a depth
of approximately 3 inches (see film). It is therefore the
judgment of the Commission that although the "fatal foot"
theory cannot be entirely ruled out at this time, there is an
adequate basis in existing fact to ascribe to the ice pick a
strongly contributory role in the death of the Vice-President.

Accordingly, the Justice Department,
with the full cooperation of the President
and law-enforcement agencies, has
drafted a new bill to increase the control
of our society over these dizzy dissidents.
When enacted, this bill will make it

The Artist at Work
n the following pages, the National Lampoon is pleased as punch to pre-

O sent a special series of six campaign posters* executed (after a short but
showy trial) by well-known campaign poster artist Rick Meyerowitz. A dis-
tinguished graduate of the Communistical Drawers School in Trotsky, Pa.,
and the Peter Max Institute in Ft. Knox, Ky., Meyerowitz has appeared
extensively in outdoor exhibits sponsored by the Bell Telephone Co., the
American Board Fence Institute and the Save Our Trees Foundation. Meyer-
owitz is also a recent recipient of the coveted Gerald Ford slur for contribu-
tions to leftistic and pornographical publications.
The six candidates singled out for this significant boost to their respective
campaigns are: George Wallace, Ronald Reagan, Nelson Rockefeller, Edward
Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey and Arthur Goldberg. They were chosen because
together they represent the widest possible cross section of this year's candi-
dates in terms of their backgrounds (a racist, a movie actor, two millionaires,
a has-been and a bore); their positions on the major issue (two hawks, two
doves, a parakeet and a turkey); their general level of fitness for high office
(six pastramis to go, and easy on the mayo). •
* These campaign posters have been produced as lithographs in a limited

edition of 50 of each by Herb Fox of the Impressions Workshop in Boston,
Mass. The posters measure 22" x 30", are printed on Reeves paper and are
numbered and signed by the artist. They are available — at $60 for each
individual lithograph and $300 for the set — by writing to: Rick Meyerowitz,

Hey there, Mr. and Mrs. Average American, have you taken a good look at what's been going
on around here lately? Just take a gander at your local paper or responsible television news
broadcaster and, if you're like the majority of responsible, informed Average Americans,
you start to wonder!
WHY YOU START TO WONDER

WHAT'S WHAT IN THE BEDROOM WHAT'S WHAT IN KANSAS
4 GOOD EXAMPLES OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AROUND

HERE LATELY1
It doesn't take any fancy college course in so-called sociology2 to figure out that something is going on in this
country. And good citizens everywhere should be fully informed as to what that something is!
GROWING CONCERN IS EVIDENCED AMONG GOOD CITIZENS EVERYWHERE
1. Information recently compiled by official governmental agencies and other reliable sources that should know.
2. A branch of the so-called Social Sciences and a field study popular among a number of known suspicious elements.

The answer is YES. Pictured below are the members of the President's Special Commission on What's What,

WHAT IS THE REAL SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM?
The most dramatic conclusion reached by the President's Special Commission on What's What is that the
large part of what's going on around here lately has been instigated by a well-coordinated group of outside
agitators frequently referred to as "those guys" or, more simply,"they." Almost without exception, all those
polled definitely stated that this organized band of professional troublemakers is the source of most of what's
what around here lately.
Percentages of Agreement Among Those Polled

"They're trying to take over this country." (91%)
"Give them an inch and they'll take a mile." (91%)
"They don't have any respect." (91%)
"They ought to go back where they came from." (91%)
"They don't make them like they used to." (91 % )
Pictured above are actual photographs taken of Them and

Their secret meeting places.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?

"But what," an individual very much like yourself might say, "can I do about
what's what with this country lately?" The answer is very simple. Below, the
President's Special Commission on What's What has prepared a specially
prepared SIX-POINT PROGRAM for Average Americans that you can put into
practice right in your own neighborhood!
SPECIAL SIX-POINT PROGRAM

When going about your daily routine, be sure to keep in mind these six important points:
