...fanfare, dinners and speechmaking, it put out a fat anniversary supplement, The Second American Revolution, with 33 articles on the American scene by everybody from former President Harry Truman, Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. and Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter to Poet W. H. Auden, Playwright Robert Sherwood and Cartoonist Al Capp. Included was a message from President Eisenhower, congratulating the P-D for its "most striking . . . resolve 'never to be satisfied with merely printing the news...
Locally, the P-D's editorials have power as well as a sharp bite, often are bolstered by the talents of Daniel R.

After graduating from Colgate University, where he made pocket money by selling caricatures of the faculty, the Poughkeepsie Evening Enterprise hired him as a $21-a-week cartoonist. The next year Baker married, borrowed $500, and took his bride to New York City where he enrolled for evening classes in an industrial art school. This was a mistake, he says. "I lost confidence in myself and got so scared I quit after three months." He decided to go out and simply draw...
