Scope and Content Note The papers of Herbert Lawrence Block (1909-2001) span the years 1863-2002, with the bulk of the material concentrated in the period 1945-2001. The papers chiefly document Block's career as the political cartoonist “Herblock” for the Washington Post and as author of several books and complement the Herblock material in the Herbert L. Block Collection in the Prints and Photographs Division. The papers are organized in the following series: Correspondence File, Writings File, Miscellany, and Oversize. The Correspondence File represents Block's work with the Washington Post from 1946 to 2001 and contains letters exchanged with friends, cartoonists, editors, politicians, Supreme Court justices, government officials, publishers, journalists, activists, admirers, and detractors. Notable among the correspondents are cartoonists Tom Engelhardt, Chuck Jones, and Vaughan Herbert Block Papers 4 Shoemaker, who together reflect the breadth of Block's career, from his early work with the Chicago Daily News to his last days with the Washington Post. Their numerous exchanges with Block discuss various aspects of cartooning, colleagues, professional associations, politics, mutual admiration, and family and social activities. The file also includes material submitted by novice cartoonists who sought Block's advice or approbation. Other cartoonists represented in the correspondence include Tony Auth, Milton Caniff, John R. Fischetti, Draper Hill, Irving Hoffman (1909-1968), Lynn Franks Johnston, Walt Kelly, Jeff MacNelly, Robert Chesley Osborn, Walt Partymiller, and Ann Telnaes. Block's professional association with the owners and staff of the Washington Post is documented in the letters of Alan Barth, Benjamin C. Bradlee, William E. Gold, Philip L. Graham, Eugene Meyer, and Agnes Elizabeth Ernst Meyer, and notes and letters from Donald E. Graham and Katharine Graham also highlight personal relationships. His association with other journalists and editors is documented in exchanges with Frederick G. Blumenthal, Irving Dilliard, Anthony Lewis, Charles Peters (1926- ), and Roger Rosenblatt. Block's political inclinations are evinced in correspondence with lobbyists and activists such as W. H. Ferry, Wesley McCune, Joseph L. Rauh, and Maurice Rosenblatt, and by his activities documented in letters with related organizations. Similarly, numerous Democratic Party members are represented in the file primarily thanking Block for editorial support on various issues and congratulating him on his achievements. However, politicians from across the political spectrum routinely asked for autographed reprints of his cartoons. These admirers included Presidents Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald R. Ford, and Bill Clinton, who awarded Block the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1994. Social activities among Washington's political and cultural circles are indicated by the many invitations he received. A small grouping of special correspondence contains readers' comments on cartoons or political issues, suggestions or ideas for cartoons, and book proposals from the late 1940s. The Writings File chiefly contains drafts, galleys, notes, cartoon reproductions, correspondence, background material, and other items related to various stages of production of Block's books. Typically, drafts were circulated among staff at the Washington Post for comments. Notable is the research material collected for his memoirs, Herblock: A Cartoonist's Life, which spans his entire career and includes reproductions of many early cartoons arranged by images depicted, subject, United States presidents, and date. The file also contains material related to abandoned book projects including “Herblock in Bush

  • 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.
