On the Feb. 28 Op-Ed page, a political cartoon by Doug Marlette (New York Newsday) appeared. The cartoonist`s apparent wit and political analogy is rooted in historical inaccuracy. In 1933 Germany, there was no kaiser in power, as suggested in the cartoon. Hindenburg was president of Germany;
Kaiser Wilhelm II had long since abdicated the throne in 1918.
