The glasses, of course, are his trademark, but he also has strong facial characteristics - a flat mouth, pearl-grey hair, a strong jaw and high cheekbones."

Eisenhower was a pair of ears pierced by a disingenuous grin, and Kennedy-well, some semblance of Kennedy could always be drawn under that hummock of hair. To such lean and telling presidential portraiture, editorial cartoonists for the nation's newspapers bring a keen eye, a sharp pen and a drop or two of acid ink. Now they are honing their art on a new subject whose face might have been designed for their drawing boards. But how successfully have...
