1 - The man in the cartoon is a personification of the mass hysteria of American citizens in fear of communism after World War II. The cartoon was published in 1949 and referred to the violation of political liberties in the name of fighting communism. I the late 1940s and early 1950s the US would have figures like Senator Joseph McCarthy and the FBI's Edgar Hoover who acted believing political liberties were less important than destroying communism.
2 - The author of the cartoon is Herb Block, a famous political cartoonist of the 20th century. In the cartoon, the personified hysteria is going to put out the flame of the statue of liberty for fear of it. The author is saying that fear and hysteria destroy important rights and liberties and thus are unhealthy feelings in politics.
Enrich fermi was a scientist and a physicist .He discovered nuclear fission and he led several tests releated to the use of nuclear power and his work was mostly on induced radioactivity by neutron bombardment and the discovery of transuranic elements or a nuclear reactor .His new find followed Marie Curies and Joliot’s discovery of artificial radioactivity .At age 14 he lost his brother from a minor throat surgery accident.In order to escape the pain of losing his brother ,Fermi buried himself in books about physics that fascinated him and soon got him into college with an entrance exam essay that was judged worthy of a doctorates degree .So you could say that his own loss of his brother motivated him to start making discoveries of his own in physics and on experimenting with neutrons. Hope this helped !
