>> to introduce the film. The film is narrated by Tom Brokaw.
>>
>> The following is from the film's 2006 PBS Home Video DVD liner notes:
>>
>> "The film celebrates the career of this legendary 3-time
>> Pulitzer Prize-winning political cartoonist. Over his remarkable
>> 50-year career, Conrad has drawn and quartered eleven
>> American presidents- from Harry S. Truman to George W. Bush-
>> and fearlessly tackled every major social and political issue.
>> During his 30-year reign at the Los Angeles Times, Conrad's work
>> was controversial and often shocking, but always thought provoking.
>> An extraordinary artist and journalist, Conrad epitomizes the fiercely
>> independent voice that has been vanishing from American news
>> media in recent years."
>> The following quote is also from the DVD liner notes:
>> "Whether loved or hated, agreed with or scoffed at, whether subject
>> of glowing awards or winning an honored spot on the White House
>> enemies list, it's broadly agreed that Paul Conrad is, in his field of
>> editorial cartooning, a genius"
>> - Shelby Coffey III, former Editor and Executive Vice President
>> of the Los Angeles Times
>>
>> For further information:
>> Call "Save Our Sculpture' (S.O.S.) at  310-399-1000 (Att. Jerry Rubin)
>> Or E-mail to: jerrypeaceactivistru...@earthlink.net
>>
>> Paul Conrad died on September, 4, 2010 of natural causes, surrounded
>> by his family at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes.
>> The message Mr Conrad inscribed at the base of "Chain Reaction" reads:
>> "This is a statement of peace. May it never become an epitaph."
