Catholics--Education.
The high costs of a Catholic education has led to an entire generation of Catholic children being unable to attend parochial schools.
Knudsen, John James, 1923-2008.
The Catholic Standard and Times.

Referencing a contemporary anti-smoking slogan, the cartoon shows that Catholic school students are left on the hook for the cost of their education.
McGovern, Robert F., 1933-2011.
The promise of tax credits from politicians never seem to materialize while Catholic parents are struggling under the weight of taxes and tuition.
Opposition to state aid for parochial students takes the form of a threatening forest with the children left alone and afraid.
Race relations.
Segregationists is compared to a misbehaving child that needs to be controlled and corrected by American society.
Wolf, Earl H., 1915-1999.
The Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibited the discrimination of housing based on race. The cartoon highlights that more work is needed until African Americans could enjoy full equality.
Commentary on the need for white Americans to reflect on and address the role they have played in fostering racism.
Environment.
Native Americans and Pilgrims sharing the first Thanksgiving comment how modern Americans have missed the point of the tradition and ignored caring for the planet
Yes, But They Did Get Rid of Their Mosquitos
In the cartoon, the use of DDT insecticide did kill the mosquitoes and other pests but in the process it destroyed all other life on the planet. DDT would be banned in the United States in 1973.
McGovern, Robert F., 1933-2011..
Vatican II.
From October 11, 1962 to December 8, 1965 the Second Vatican Council was held in Rome. The goal of the council was one of renewal and updating of faith and traditions. Many looked forward to the results of the council with hope for a better tomorrow.
After Vatican II, there was debate over how to implement its teachings. Here Wolf shows that the middle way is the best way.
The Church represented as a ship being cast about by the heavy storms of change. However, Wolf is confident based on the title that the Church will weather the storm.
Cold War.
Arms race.
Knudsen compares the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) to a robin announcing the thaw of winter. Beginning with negotiations in 1969, SALT resulted in an agreement to limit the number of ballistic missiles held by the U.S. and the U.S.S.R.
McGovern satirizes the United States' priorities that spends billions on weapons of war while its citizens live in poverty.
The arms race is compared to a parasitic plant grown by hate that will drain the life from the planet.
Anti-communist.
Objection to the inclusion of China in the United Nations because of their history of human rights abuses.
Concerned with the expansion of communism, the United States continued to pursue a policy of containment. Many believed that the Soviet Union existence threatened the safety and freedoms of mankind.
Despite the suppression of religion in the Warsaw Pact countries, Catholicism in Poland not only survived but thrived as many Poles saw their religion as a way to oppose communism.
The Prague Spring, a series of political and economic reforms that attempted to create "communism with a human face." Many feared that like a weed the Soviets would kill off any reforms before they had time to blossom.
On the evening of August 20, 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia, to put an end to the Prague Spring. With the Soviets in charge of the country, they overturned the earlier reforms with a period of "normalization." McGovern equates this normalcy with the oppression of the Czechs.
McGovern questions which communist country the Soviet Union would invade next in order to impose its version of communism.
With the establishment of communism in Eastern Europe and Korea, Knudsen highlights that its forces will accept nothing but total victory in Vietnam.
Wolf questions whether mankind will chose the path that leads to peace or the one that leads to nuclear war.
