90 YEARS OF ARCHY: It was 90 years ago on March 29, 1916, that an "insignifcant and journalistic insect" named Archy first spoke to the world from Don Marquis' typewriter at the old New York Evening Sun. And he's still with us, griping and philosphizing and poking fun at the human world he inhabits. Just a few days ago (March 27), L.A. Times columnist Al Martinez reprised Archy and Mehitabel for a column on the folly of men and war. It's great stuff.
