I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Nixon, "unindicted co-conspirator"
By July 14, 1974, President Richard Nixon stood almost alone. His vice-president Spiro Agnew, pleaded nolo contendere to a charge of tax evasion, and was forced to resign. Many of Nixon's closest aides had been convicted of illegal activities. Nixon himself was named an "un-indicted co-conspirator" by the Watergate grand jury. A few days later, the House Judiciary Committee recommended impeachment, and the Supreme Court required him to turn over all subpoenaed tapes. When even his closest friends, reviewing these tapes, agreed that the evidence against him was overwhelming, Nixon bowed to the inevitable, resigning on August 9.

Even more damning than President Richard Nixon's profiting from public office were the disclosures of his corruption and attempts at corruption of the government itself including the CIA, the FBI, the Pentagon and even the Secret Service. A taping system that had recorded most of President Nixon's conversations in the Oval Office provided the "smoking gun" that spoke of crime and corruption. Nixon refused to release the tapes until the Supreme Court ordered him to do so.

Herblock creates a bold metaphor for the Nixon administration's drastic actions to prevent publication of the "Pentagon Papers," informative documents about the American role in Indo-China from World War II into the 1960s. The New York Times released parts of the papers on June 13, 1971, but halted when served a temporary restraining order obtained by Attorney General John Mitchell. The Washington Post published two installments until similarly prohibited; other papers followed suit until the Supreme Court ruled against a permanent injunction on June 30th.

Disarmament talks
- WPI_160218_063.JPG: "Here He Comes Now"
During his 1954 "anti-communist campaign," Vice President Richard Nixon insinuated that a number of Democratic legislators were soft on communism. As Herblock recalled, "it occurred to me that he was figuratively criss-crossing the country by sewer." He thus memorably condemns Nixon's smear tactics by showing him emerging from the depths with a five o'clock shadow. When later asked if he regretted drawing some cartoons, Herblock replied that he might have done some differently but not "the manhole cartoon."
- WPI_160218_065.JPG: "Have a care, sir"
Throughout his political career, Dwight Eisenhower refused to take a public stand against Senator Joseph McCarthy's aggressive anti-communist campaign. Eisenhower even struck from a 1952 campaign speech in Wisconsin a defense of his mentor, George C. Marshall, a McCarthy target. Half a dozen Republican senators, including Ralph Flanders, joined Margaret Chase Smith in a "declaration of conscience" against McCarthy. Eisenhower, however, continued to speak of "justice and fair play" in fighting communism, and it was a long time before they prevailed.

- WPI_160218_075.JPG: "You mean I'm supposed to stand on that?"
This political cartoon was published on March 29, 1950, and it was the first time the word "McCarthyism" was used. During this period of time, McCarthy was continuing to exploit the fears of the American public. So, he came up with a list of 205 suspected Communists of the Democratic Party. The elephant in this cartoon is meant to represent the Republican Party, and the people pulling at the animal are labeled Gabrielson, Wherry, Taft, and Bridges. All of them are Republican senators. They are trying to force the elephant to stand atop a shaking platform that is labeled "McCarthyism." Meanwhile, the elephant looks utterly terrified and is digging his heels into the ground. Block is showing the public that he believes McCarthy is not something that we should take a stand on.

- WPI_160218_082.JPG: Herblock
Herbert Block worked at The Washington Post for 55 years and was widely recognized as the foremost American political cartoonist of his time. Herblock saw this art form as "a means for poking fun, for punctuating pomposity and for offering criticism." With searing wit and relentless passion, he turned a critical eye on the people and events that would make history.
At the heart of all of Herblock's work was an unwavering belief in freedom, democracy, fairness and honest public service. He also held the fundamental belief that a political cartoon should serve "some purpose beyond the chuckle."

Michel du Cille
Photojournalist at The Washington Post, 1988-2014
Directory of Photography, 2009-2012
Michel du Cille was among the most passionate and decorated photojournalists of his time, having won three Pulitzer Prizes for his dramatic images of struggle and triumph. He died on December 11, 2014, at the age of 58 while on assignment for The Washington Post in Liberia, covering the human impact of an Ebola outbreak. Over a distinguished career, he covered natural disasters, drug addiction, poverty and neglect in the care of veterans. In explaining why he often put himself at risk for his work, he said simply, "The story must be told."

Celebrating 100 Years
The Pulitzer Prize, first awarded in 1917, ranks as the most prestigious award in journalism. It also recognizes excellence in the fields of letters, drama, and music. In establishing the prizes in his will, visionary publisher Joseph Pulitzer declared, "I am deeply interested in the progress and elevation of journalism, having spent my life in that profession, regarding it as a noble profession, regarding it as a noble profession and one of unequaled importance for its influence upon the minds and morals of the people."
