His humor is uniquely ef-
fective. genuine, and derived
directly trom the American
mainstream, said Edward R
Murrow "He's a Will Rogers
kind of observer- commentator
who can see both the trees ahd
the forest at the same time,

beauty, but also able to
pinpoint the flaws, in the
world," is a statement from the
Los Angeles Times.
"John Henry Faulk is one of
the most delightful performers

really has something to say,"
said the president of the
American Income Life Insur-
ance Company of Waco
"With. his folklore language
and humor. John Henry Faulk
crosses all of the normal
boundaries of political affilia-

that separate people. He was a
strong influence for good will
and brotherhood and for more
compassion in our relationships
