| Description | Cartoon shows Uncle Sam (in a bed labeled "Complacency") awakened by the beeps of a Russian satellite. Expresses the view that the first artificial satellite, launched by the Russians in 1957, was a rude awakening for Americans, who had assumed that the United States was ahead in the arms race. |
