| Description | Cartoon shows a genie (labeled "Atomic Age") on its knees, offering two pieces of paper (labeled "Security" and "Destruction") to a seated man with a globe head. Drawn shortly after President Truman announced that the Soviet Union had exploded an atomic bomb, the cartoon expresses the fear that the world may be unable to control the use of atomic weapons, now that the technology is available to the competing superpowers. |
