Description

“Deadly Weapons” (August 19, 1987)
By Charles Phillip Bissell (1926 - )
9.5 x 9 in., ink and wash on board

In 1960, Boston Globe cartoonist Phil Bissell, working for $25 a day, was handed an assignment that would change his life—and the lives of fans of the brand-new AFL football team coming to Boston. “Sports editor Jerry Nason came to me and he said, ‘They’ve decided to call the team the Boston Patriots. You better have a cartoon ready for tomorrow’s edition.’” Bissel’s “Pat Patriot” cartoon was the Patriot’s logo from 1961-1992.

WGBH (Boston, Channel 2) has held a spring auction since 1965. From the beginning, the event comprised mainly of auction staff describing the items that viewers can call in to bid

On September 17, 1985, the President used the term AIDS for the first time, in public.

On April 1, 1987, with virtually no mention made in the interim, President Reagan appeared before the College of Physicians in Philadelphia, to deliver his first "major speech" on AIDS, calling it "public enemy number one."

On April 30, William Bennett, US Education Secretary, called for mandatory AIDS testing for several groups of people, including hospital patients and prison inmates.

On June 1, Reagan called for wide (but not mandatory) testing. Later in June, he formed the first government commission to investigate the disease.
