What do the Regan administration, the U.S. Budget,

National Defense, the Soviet Pipeline, and the Pro-Football Strike all

have in common? They're all subjects that were up for grabs in 1982 for

the nation's leading editorial cartoonists.

Started in 1972, the series has been widely acclaimed

as a concise yet far-ranging pictorial history of each year's events. As

Publishers Weekly said, it's "a great way to get the gut

feeling of a year's history."

The 1984 edition continues the standard of excellence

established in previous editions. More than 350 editorial cartoons reflect

the best work of 140 cartoonists who focused their sights on the Middle

East, Poland, Latin American, Great Britain, Pope John Paul II, the

economy, and an array of other issues that made the headlines in 1982.

Editor Charles Brooks is past president of the

Association of American Editorial Cartoonists and for 38 years was a

cartoonist for the Birmingham News. He has been the recipient of 13

Freedom Foundation Awards, a national VFW Award, two Vigilante Patriot

Awards, and a Sigma Delta Chi Award for editorial cartooning.
