Help me out please. I can't remember the name of this paperback.

It was a book in 1960s that put satirical quotes on photos of famous people. Stuff like Richard Nixon in a rage, with a dialogue balloon that said, "My own daughter wants to join the Peace Corps!" and Grace Kelly looking admiringly at JFK and her dialogue balloon was "I had to settle for a prince!" David Ben Gurion saying, "Would you like to meet a nice Jewish girl?"

All black-and-white.

My parents had this book and it took me years of reading up on the l'air du temps of that era to get the puns and satire.

There was a second version in the late 1980's:

Gary Hart: "Sex is nobody's business but the 3 people involved."

Richard Gephardt: "No I was not on Happy Days."
