...your list of illustrations implying that syndicated cartoonists spend all of their time straddling issue fences to please all of their clients all of the time. True, my cartoons are syndicated; however, before they are sent out they are used first in my home paper (the St. Louis Globe Democrat). So my cartoons are not made solely for syndication purposes.

His vote infuriated the U.A.W., which by no means confines its Sixth District interests to labor policy. High, rigid farm subsidies are an article of the U.A.W.'s national Democratic faith, and Hayworth found himself...
