Back for the Big Game
Six weeks before Pearl Harbor, artist Howard Brodie (1915-2010) captured the nostalgic bliss of the loyal alumnus back on campus for the big game. Brodie was only 25 when his illustration appeared on the program cover of Oct. 18, 1941. He went on to a notable career as a combat artist in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, and as a courtroom artist in the years before cameras were allowed in courtrooms. For CBS News, he illustrated the Watergate hearings and the trials of, among many others, the Chicago Seven, Charles Manson, Lt. William Calley, and Patty Hearst. Brodie's work as a U.S. Army artist in World War II earned him a Bronze Star for valor.
