It may not say much for my literary tastes. But among the 35,000 items and
2,000 linear feet of archives in the New York Public Library’s Henry W. and
Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature, the one that
excited me most was a copy of underground cartoonist R. Crumb’s “Zap #1”
from 1968.

For Crumb enthusiasts, that should come as little surprise. After all, the
inaugural work in the “Zap Comix” series included such iconic characters as
Mr. Natural, Schuman the Human, Whiteman and two full pages of “Kitchen
Kut-Outs,” featuring such lovable characters as “Dick Tater,” “Beatrice
Bread Slice” and “Clever Mr. Ketchup.” That’s also the artist’s exuberant
“Keep on Truckin’” visual riff.

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
