The Miracle of Democracy

"COVER: This month's cover is by Robert Grossman, winner of the coveted National Lampoon Political Caricature Award, consisting of a handsome stipend to permit a half hour of study in any appropriate area of the fine arts, for his immortal portrayal of Richard Nixon as Pinocchio, which (as is customary for winners of this sought-after citation) appears on the cover of 'that magazine which most fulfills the ideals and principles symbolized by the National Lampoon."
