Excerpt

The universal devastation of war is vividly portrayed in a simple "Willie and Joe" cartoon by Bill Mauldin. In the center of the picture is a large window, part of a house that has apparently been destroyed by bombs. The thick, wooden frame appears to be broken, and just a small section of outside wall remains to support it. Small individual window panes divide the larger frame into nine equal sections. Only the pane of glass in the middle section remains intact. Sharp, jagged edges, remnants of the former eight panes, surround the single undamaged window section.
