Snapshots from Home From a New York Times obituary of a New Yorker magazine cartoonist: On at least one occasion, Mr. Reilly's work influenced public policy, albeit briefly. In 1984, the town council of Garrett Park, Md., voted to install a traffic sign at a troublesome intersection. The sign, taken straight from one of Mr. Reilly's New Yorker cartoons, read: "At Least Slow Down (formerly STOP)." I remember those signs fondly. They were indeed always stolen. We have the same trouble with our NUCLEAR FREE ZONE signs. |
