One of those random things one remembers from early youth (8 or 9 at
most). A cartoon in the Sunday Chicago Herald-American (a Hearst paper).
It was a double panel. One showed Stalin in an armored railroad car
surrounded by armed guards. The other showed Mussolini driving a tractor
pulling a combine or something, with scores of happy peasants working in
the fields around him. No guards. (I'm probably making some of the
details up, but the basic contrast was there.)
