"Kilroy Was Here: The Best American Humor From World War II," edited by Charles Osgood (Hyperion, 188 pages, $22.95). Anyone who was conscious during even a few months of World War II can recognize -- and draw -- the Kilroy cartoon: a bald head, a bulbous nose and the fingers of a pair of hands looking out over a wall. He turned up, with the inevitable caption, "Kilroy was here," in all sorts of places, even the most improbable. Mostly the most improbable. It was the symbol of ubiquitousness and of survivalist humor and of the American presence in a world it was busy saving from the forces of evil.
