There Are No Words

Fifty-four years ago, back in 1963, the legendary political cartoonist, two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Bill Mauldin drew what many consider one of the most memorable op-ed cartoons, when he worked for the Chicago Sun-Times.  Though it addressed a very different situation, the assassination of President Kennedy, it occurred to me that the drawing holds another resonance today, as the Party of Lincoln saw its leader give aid and comfort to white supremacists, neo-Nazis and the KKK, marching with swastikas, Confederate flags, giving sieg heil salutes and calling out Nazi chants.

I offer Bill Mauldin's powerful, heart-breaking work about another time which still holds its meaning for a very different world.
