This Week’s Cover
- TODAY’S little primer for parents, in case the children ask: Q: What are the nice men doing? A: They are cleaning up after New Year’s Eve. Q: What are they laughing about? A: They are so glad the young man in the top hat is helping. Q: Is that unusual? A: No, there are a lot of helpful souls around early in the morning of January first. Some help milk men deliver milk, some help orchestra leaders lead orchestras. Q: They all look very happy. A: Yes, but the young man in formal clothes isn’t going to look so happy later in the day. Artist Stevan Dohanos sketched himself in the role of the reveler, the New York Department of Sanitation provided the rest of the cast. This is Times Square as seen from City Square. Dohanos said the job was “the most gracious example of co-operation I ever had.”
