This dandy imported rifle

  From Jason Lefkowitz


If you're unfamiliar with Herbert Block ("Herblock"), he was one of the all-time great editorial cartoonists. He took over the op-ed cartoon at the Washington Post in 1946 and filled it until his death in 2001. It was a Herblock cartoon that coined the term "McCarthyism."

I first came to Washington in 1993, when Block was still vigorously cartooning. His eye never softened or slackened. It was vital.
