Cartoonist and playwright Jules Feiffer was born today in Bronx, NY, in 1929. His play The White House Murder Case (the First Lady is murdered against a backdrop of an unpopular war—read Vietnam) has been produced in San Jose and Chicago. Arlington, VA's American Century Theatre is staging Feiffer's dark comedy Little Murders through February 11, which deals with the violence surrounding a dysfunctional family.
