Title	Never mind the rigor mortis; January 18, 1974
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Reg Manning. A dead man covered from waist to calf by a sheet labeled "Watergate" lies on a hospital gurney. Four men in surgical garb and masks are trying to revive the man. A man labeled "Eastern liberals" tries to use a car battery labeled "New 'tapes' shocks" that is connected to the man's ankles. A man whose cap is labeled "AFL-CIO" does chest compressions. His arm is labeled "Impeachment pressure." This doctor says, "We've gotta keep him alive 'til November." A man labeled "Sam's committee" holds an oxygen mask over the face of the man on the gurney, attached to a tank labeled "Request for more and more White House papers" A fourth man, labeled "Nixon haters" is injecting the man's arm with a syringe labeled "Repeated shots of 'resignation' quotes."
