  • Presidential Handwriting File, 1981-1989
    PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 – REAGAN LIBRARY COLLECTIONS This collection is available in whole for research use. Some folders may still have withdrawn material due to Freedom of Information Act restrictions. Most frequent withdrawn material is national security classified material, personal privacy, protection of the President, etc. PRESIDENTIAL HANDWRITING FILE: PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS: 1981-1989 The Presidential Handwriting File is an artificial collection created by the White House Office of Records Management (WHORM). The Presidential Handwriting File consists of a variety of documents that Ronald Reagan either annotated, edited, or wrote in his own hand. When documents containing the president's handwriting were received at WHORM for filing, the original was placed in the Presidential Handwriting File and arranged by the order received. A photocopy of the document was placed in the appropriate category of the WHORM: Subject File. The first page of the casefile was stamped Handwriting File, indicating the location of the original documents. However, WHORM often failed to indicate on the original documents the original location (i.e. the six digit tracking number, Subject Category Code). The Presidential Handwriting File, as created by the White House, did not contain handwriting found in staff and office files. The Library will be creating a further series of handwriting material from staff and office files. In order to provide better access to the Presidential Handwriting File, the collection has been arranged into six series. Each series is arranged chronologically by the date of the document. Each document has been marked with the appropriate WHORM: Subject File category and a six digit tracking number.

  • DON WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY Winning a Pulitzer
    DON WRIGHT BIOGRAPHY Winning a Pulitzer Prize is the pinnacle of most journalistic careers. Don Wright, editorial cartoonist, has two of them (1966-1980), in addition to scores of other awards. Combining “a rare intelligence and a sense of moral outrage,” said one newspaper, Wright “uses his space with crystalline precision, capturing in a single frame the essence of a half-dozen windy op-ed articles.” His cartoons are on permanent display at Syracuse University and he has mounted several one-man art shows across the country. He began his career with the Miami News and has been at the Palm Beach Post since 1989. “Don Wright is unpredictable, not compartmentalized, free-spirited – beyond simple or traditional categorization,” as one writer put it. “And that is a trait of genius.” SUMMARY Julian Pleasants interviewed Don Wright on December 12, 2001 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Mr. Wright begins his interview by recalling his early experience in newspapers straight out of high school. Originally a photographer and graphics editor, Mr. Wright recounts how Bill Baggs of the Miami News pushed him into trying editorial cartooning. Mr. Wright also comments on being syndicated and how he feels about the numerous awards that he has garnered throughout his career. He also discusses his daily work process, the characteristics of a good cartoonist, and how newspaper competition with FNP 59 Wright Page 2 television has altered the profession. He concludes with thoughts about the future for himself personally and for editorial cartoonists in general. P: Give me a little bit of your background, mainly your newspaper background.

Bonnie Brennen was affiliated with SUNY at the time of publication. Sue A. La(ky and Bonnie Brennen For Better or For Worse: Coming Out in the Funny Pages Among the most significant occasions in the lives of gay men and lesbians is the one in which they realize that their sexual orientation situates them as "other." One aspect of this process, known as coming out, is the self-acknowledgement ofbeing gay or lesbian, while another aspect consists of revealing this identity to family members and friends. During her 1980s fieldwork with lesbians and gay men in San Francisco, anthropologist Kath Weston observed that "no other topic generated an emotional response comparable to coming out to blood (or adoptive) relatives" (1991, 43). She wrote: When discussion turned to the subject of straight family, it was not unusual for interviews to be interrupted by tears, rage, or a lengthy silence. "Are you out to your parents?" and "Are you out to your family?" were questions that almost inevitably arose in the process of getting to know another lesbian or gay person. ( 43) In Spring of 1993, such a "coming out" process was played out in North American newspapers through Canadian artist Lynn Johnston's syndicated comic strip, For Better or For Worse.

  • A"Zany" Development
    000_0789737329_FM.qxd 10/19/07 3:13 PM Page viii A "Zany" Development Zany. Is that a quality journalists should aspire to? Walt Handelsman won his second Pulitzer Prize for editorial cartooning this year with this citation: Awarded to Walt Handelsman of Newsday, Long Island, N.Y., for his stark, sophisticated cartoons and his impressive use of zany animation. Handelsman's editorial cartoons speak for themselves. He does great work and is an old friend. Walt saw a new medium in animation and went to great pains to teach himself the fine points of producing it. And the results are predictably hilarious. But is it an editorial cartoon? Let's put it this way; giving the Pulitzer Prize for an animated cartoon is like awarding it for best novel to Doctor Zhivago starring Omar Sharif. It's just not the same thing. In an industry that seemingly has more awards per person than any other profession, the Pulitzer Prize is arguably the best known and most sought after. Try going into a bar and announce you just won the Fischetti and see how many folks buy you a drink. We were led to believe that this is an award for the newspaper industry. Unless it's broken down and printed on every page so that you can view it as a flipbook, it's hard to imagine how an animated cartoon qualifies. Winners in every category other than cartooning are lavished with words like sharply edged, creative, comprehensive, tenacious, skillful, and zestful.
