Another good political cartoon was reprinted in the Sunday N.Y. Times (?last week): It shows a woman sitting before "El Presidente" -- the boss' desk. She says: "Um, if you don't mind, if you have nothing better do do, could you please stop dumping toxins in the river? Also some pay equity would be nice, too ..." The Boss says: "Thanks for working within the system. Now get out." --The heading is: "Political Activism in the 90's" and is by Ted Rail, Universal Press Syndicate. Larry Shute Here's a recent cartoon (LA Times, Nov. 6, 1996). Sorry I can't draw the pictures: US-based radio interviewer (a man): "So Janet... what do CANADIANS think about our elections?" Canadian newspaperwoman (Janet): "YOUR ELECTIONS? It's all about YOU isn't it? Your elections... Your Olympics... Your apple pie... What about your largest trading partner? Canada is in danger of splitting up... "And all you can talk about is YOU YOU YOU! What about me me ME? I've had enough! I WANT A DIVORCE!!" Radio interviewer: "Is that ALLOWED in NAFTA?" -- "Us & Them" by Wiley Miller and Susan Dewar. I thought that "Us & Them" referred to men & women. But it also refers to USers and Canadians. It's the only cross-border cartoon strip I've seen. (Lynne Johnson's "For Better or For Worse" is purely Canadian.) and now back to grading tests... in pen-l solidarity, Jim Devine [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Econ.
