Object Details

How powerful is the punch of the Speaker of the House? This 1943 Time magazine cover asked the question with an awkward cartoon of Congress and the White House duking it out in a boxing ring. The article inside lists history’s most influential Speakers. By the time Sam Rayburn, also on the cover, died in 1961, he was one of the undisputed champions in that group.
