| Description | Editorial cartoon shows an irate Catholic official admonishing a priest who has just painted the words "Total Victory in Vietnam" on a wall of a cathedral. Another wall reads "Clobber the Cong." The cartoonist's small penguin Punk asks, "Your first bash at politics, Father?" In December 1966, Cardinal Spellman, the powerful archbishop of New York and an ardent anti-Communist, visited American troops in Vietnam and urged them to fight for total victory. A few days later, the Vatican announced that Pope Paul VI did not share his view. |
