| Description | Cartoon shows a Time magazine cover (with the legend "Bolivian Riots") featuring an angry Uncle Sam, battered and beaten with torn clothes. In the background, Clare Boothe Luce (carrying a briefcase labeled "Ambassador to Brazil") lectures her embarrassed husband, Henry Luce, publisher of Time. In February 1959, Mrs. Luce was named ambassador to Brazil. In March, angry crowds in Bolivia burned the American flag and stoned the U.S. Embassy after publication of an article in Time suggesting that Bolivia's economic problems were best solved by dividing the nation among its neighbors. Mrs. Luce soon thereafter resigned. |
