# Analysis of "Can Heart Come Back?" This page features a political cartoon titled "Something New Under the Sun" by Cesare Enea, depicting two figures in a physical struggle—one appears to be a winged fairy or sprite pulling away from a larger human figure. The accompanying article questions whether William Hearst (the newspaper magnate) can maintain his influence and power after World War I ends. The cartoon's meaning is unclear from the image alone, but the text discusses Hearst's controversial wartime positions, his support for Germany initially, and his current backing of U.S. interests. The piece suggests Hearst remains influential in publishing despite his checkered record, questioning whether he'll recover his reputation post-war. The "something new" likely satirizes Hearst's attempted reinvention.
