Lurie, Ranan R. and Clare Boothe Luce — Lurie's Worlds, 1970-1980

Honolulu, The University Press of Hawaii, 1980. Hardcover. Light gray cloth boards with white cloth spine, gilt letters on spine & gilt decoration on front cover, white & color illus. dust jacket, illus. flyleaves, 436 pp. nearly 1000 drawings. A terrific drop back to the U.S. political scene of the 1970s, thanks to the pen of American Israeli political cartoonist and journalist Ranan R. Lurie (b. 1932). What a trip! See Richard Nixon, Golda Meir, Henry Kissinger, Spiro Agnew, and hither and yon, Jimmy Carter. There's a lot of artistry here, and a whole lot of fun seeing these figures and situations again. With a foreword by Clare Boothe Luce. This was her copy, and it carries her blindstamp on the title page. VG (Outer binding has some foxing or soiling; dj is slightly aged; interior is clean and bright; this copy belonged to Clare Boothe Luce, with her blindstamp on tp.) .
