While studying at Purdue University, American political cartoonist John T. McCutcheon [1870-1949] worked with typographer Bruce Rogers on the student newspaper and yearbook. Moving to Chicago, he worked at the Chicago Morning News and then at The Chicago Tribune from 1903 until his retirement in 1946. In 1932 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Cartoons for his Depression-era cartoon depicting a victim of bank failure.

The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation.
