Lawrence E. Mintz,

Twenty-five years ago an adventurous young expatriate, Art Buchwald, began writing a humor-gossip column for the European edition of the New York Herald Tribune . Today the Washington based columnist is a successful, sometimes brilliant, social and political satirist. Indeed, the thrice weekly column is an important indicator that American humor has emerged from the doldrums of the post-World War II period and has reached a new and respectable, if sometimes bitter and unpleasant, maturity.
