...free-enterprise system once America began mobilizing for war. Through his first two terms, business had been driven by an almost primitive hostility to Roosevelt, viewing his support for the welfare state and organized labor as an act of betrayal of his class.

Boo to them--and bring on Sergio...

While recent issues of the magazine have featured politicians like Bill Clinton and businessmen like Bill Gates, the cartoon face on this week's cover belongs to a fictional character.
