Modern Proverbs Appeal

[Mark A. Mandel]

Jim reminisces:
>>>
"It takes a lot of dough to make the upper crust."  I'm pretty sure I
saw this in Mad Magazine circa 1960, at which time they ran an Alfred E.
Newman quote on the Table of Contents page each month.  The only other I
remember is "America was once the Melting Pot.  Now it's the pressure
cooker."

I'm pretty sure it was (and is) Alfred E. Ne{u}man, pace all the
Americanized spelling I've seen on this list lately.
