  • 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 Some folders may still have withdrawn material due to Freedom of Information Act restrictions. Most frequent withdrawn material is national security classified material, personal privacy, protection of the President, etc.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.

  • 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.

  • Economic Cartoons2
    TO THE TEACHER Economic Cartoons provide high-interest visualization of concepts that you want to teach. These cartoons challenge students to apply what they have learned in the text. Using cartoons also allows students with weaker reading skills to develop higher level critical thinking skills such as: I Understanding the use of caricature, satire, and irony I Understanding cause-effect relationships I Comparing and contrasting I Writing opinions, creative solutions, and interpretations You may want to use a cartoon as a beginning class activity, a lesson illustration, a review activity, or follow-up activity. Several cartoons may be chosen for an in-depth lesson on inter- preting economic cartoons. Each cartoon activity begins with low level multiple choice questions designed to help students identify the symbols and characters in the cartoon. Critical thinking questions follow, asking students to analyze the cartoon and express their own opinions or to apply what they have learned in creative ways. CREATING A CUSTOMIZED FILE The individual booklets in the Teacher’s Classroom Resources provide a wide variety of sup- plemental materials to help make economics meaningful to students. These resources appear as individual booklets in a carryall file box. There are a variety of ways to organize Economic Cartoons classroom resources. Three alternatives are given here: I Organize by category (all activities, all tests, etc.) I Organize by category and chapter (all Chapter 1 activities, all Chapter 1 tests, etc.) I Organize sequentially by lesson (activities, quizzes, and other materials for Chapter 1, Section 1; Chapter 2, Section 2, etc.) Regardless of the organization you choose, you may pull out individual activity sheets from these booklets, or you may photocopy them directly from the booklets and file the photocopies.

  • "Holy John" Wanamaker: Color Cartoon Centerfold
    THE Pennsylvania Magazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY "Holy John" Wanamaker: Color Cartoon Centerfold NOWN BEST TO PHILADELPHIANS as a founding father of modern American retailing and to students of American reli- K gion as a major figure in such manifestations of post-Civil War Protestant outreach as the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) and Sunday-school movements, John Wanamaker achieved celebrity of a decidedly different sort during the 1889-1893 presidency of Benjamin Harrison. During his stint as Postmaster General in Harrison's cabinet, Wanamaker became notorious in the minds of many Americans unfamiliar with his entrepreneurial and religious exploits as a symbol of political sleaze and mendacity. The color cartoon art gracing the covers and centerfolds of such dime illustrated humor weeklies as Puck and Judge repeatedly caricatured Wanamaker during the Harrison regime, often casting him in starring roles. The dominant cartoon image of Wanamaker became that of "Holy John" or "Saint" Wanamaker, symbol of spoils statecraft and holier-than-thou hypocrisy. Even within the tradition of a medium renowned for droll defamation—"Many cartoonists would be hired assassins if they couldn't draw," Jeff MacNelly once joked1—the image of Wana- maker created by the leading graphic satirists of the day stands out as uncommonly unfair. During Wanamaker's tenure in Washington, political cartooning was dominated by two rival New York dime humor weeklies, Puck and Judge. Begun in a German-language format in 1876 by the 1 Quoted in Newsweek, Oct. 13, 1980, 83. THE PENNSYLVANIA MAGAZINE OF HISTORY & BIOGRAPHY Vol. CXV, No. 4 (October 1991) 452 ROGER A.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microRlming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the Him is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will fînd a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
