Dick Hafer Cartoon
Dick Hafer produced some excellent political cartoons. Most delightful was his collaboration with Cal Thomas and Wayne Stayskal in the production of their Liberals for Lunch paper back (Crossway Books, 1985).

March, 2013 Catherine Ramey, M. Div. In the 1960s and 70s Americans worshipped at the altar of “Free Speech,” no matter how abominable.
