03:08:92 week in revue

A full page of clippings obscures the graphic flow in this page. Scrambling to find news items by the end of the week could be blamed.

The two devastating earthquakes recently, recall the massive quake this week of 1992 in Turkey. Actually, a rough week of weather throughout the states with tornadoes and flooding. A rough week for President Bush with an uphill finance battle. The House of Reprehensibles banking scandal broke when it was revealed that they allowed members to overdraw their House checking accounts, but were never penalized by the House Bank. Oops! Out of the 22 representatives sited, 3 were Republicans. Menachem Begin, Israel’s 6th Prime Minister, succumbed this week.

The instant lesson clipping addresses President Bush’s loss in the New Hampshire Primary to Pat Buchanan. The real Darrin Stephens, Dick York, died this week. The Olympics continued, as it does in 2010, while the Daytona 500 was set to run its course. Well, not really a course. That would indicate turning in more than one direction. How does the least admired list compare in 2010?

This is an interesting display of clippings with lots of movement across the page. A mix of flush left/right alignments with free form subjects bridging across white space.

‘Give a prosecutor unlimited time and investigative resources, give him unreviewable discretion, give him several thousand statutes, and give him a single case--and the chances are pretty good that an indictment may emerge somewhere.’ ~ National Review. July 6, 1992.

Exactly. Lawrence Walsh, American lawyer and former judge, along his permanent corps of temporary prosecutors were exempt from a critical part of the checks and balances of the criminal-charging process. Their six year, multi-million dollar waste brought two convictions, both of which were subsequently reversed, in the Iran-Contra matter. In my graphics, we see former President Bush heading for the dog…er…birdhouse with, undoubtedly, the world’s largest sparrows.

Death becomes them (nearly). DC Comics killed off Superman but there is no truth to the rumor that Dr. Kevorkian was involved. The actor who voiced the original Winnie the Pooh also died this week. An old Joseph Pulitzer stamp includes an ironic statement about the press which former President Bush is all too familiar.

When I pulled this montage together in 1992, the "doctor sign off" clipping was timely. The cartoon kid running in fear from "doctor death" was a solid choice. The "superman" logo is up for your own interpretation but it provides a visual flow across the page.

10.18.92 week in revue

Finding some large images help fill the week’s revue. As the 1992 election draws closer, Bush looks a bit distressed. And he was never invited to play the saxophone. Pat Robertson blurted his thoughts on the Equal Rights Amendment as women scream in terror.

10.04.92 week in revue

Back in 1992, President Bush vetoes a bill that would regulate cable prices, saying it benefited special interests rather than the public. The IRA terrorist bombings continue on a regular basis during this week and into the next. Old Boeings go boing as some engines land before the fuselage. And a quiet week in Lake Wobegon according to Garrison Keillor.

09.20.92 week in revue

Boris is back in the news as he does some saber rattling. Is the pen mightier than the sword? A return to my original May 17 post as Brown vs. Quayle continues to ignite the media.

08.16.92 week in revue

The Queen of England was not pleased with the manor of commoner Sarah Ferguson and her split with Prince Andrew. I think my graphics make this clear. Yeltsin was back in the news again with $60 vouchers for Russia’s 150 million people in a “bold” effort to boost the economy. Reminds me of the recent stimulus most of us received this past spring. I had to hire an account to handle the extra $13. Bush looks overly optimistic as well.
