Description

This is a photograph of a political cartoon by Jim Berryman published in the Washington Evening Star on August 14, 1946. President Harry S. Truman, wearing an academic robe and mortarboard hat, delivers an address saying "...So, addressing you on behawf of my illustrious compatriot, I shall endeavor to refrain from indulging in cawsting aspersions of a vulgar nature..." His speech is resting on a stack of books labeled "Public Speaking" and "Higher Level Oratory." In the wastebasket is a piece of paper with "Give 'em H--- Technique" printed on it.
