"Oliphant’s Watergate cartoons captured Nixon’s menace and bathos, his yearning for greatness undone by his lack of goodness." The Miller Center's Ken Hughes discusses the legacy of Pat Oliphant, whose political cartoons anchored editorial pages in newspapers across the country from 1965 to 2015–many of which are part of his work archived in the University of Virginia’s Special Collections Library. Oliphant died Monday at the age of 90. #Nixon #Watergate #PatOliphant #Oliphant https://zurl.co/Sg3Y3
