75 minutes, a kind of meeting of two cultures. One culture is represented by the people on this stage, who are scholars associate the with the Miller Center here at the university of virginia and whose studie of the presidency is broad, longterm in perspective, balanced, and of course expressed in words in the written word. The other culture is represented in this room in one sense by the presence of pat oliphant, so please, greet pat oliphant with a [ applause ] but even nmore so by the work o pat oliphant which youll see displayed on this screen. The culture that he represents is not sort of broad gauged and long range by highly specific, daily perspective over the course of more than 60 years as a cartoonist, producing more than 10,000 individual cartoons five days a week for the denver post for several years, the washington star for several years. And along the way pat ol fant became the first to work independently of any newspaper. Thats how popular his work was, and it was syndic

The other way cartoonists responded is by drawing things about his southern and rural heritage. There was a famous cartoon of a white house limousine outside the whitehouse up on cinder blocks and there was jody powell, who

I have to hand it to our president. He has yet to throw a temper tantrum about this. He wasnt named, but hes on his best behavior, unfortunately, his namesake, donnie jr. Was not. He said teaime leaves out the hong kong protesters fighting for their lives and freedoms to push a teen being used. Hes full of surprises. I do have to say, though, its great that greta made the cover, but in my opinion, the person of the year has to be this guy. This, you might not know his face. His name is
Sackett definitely was.
