| Description | Cartoon shows Soviet leader Khrushchev gazing admiringly at a Soviet missile leaving a stream in its wake labeled "World Chaos." On August 26, 1957, the Soviet Union announced that it had successfully fired an inter-continental ballistic missile, raising fears that the United States had fallen behind in the arms race. Some observers doubted whether the missile had the requisite accuracy. The cartoonist suggests that there is no doubt about the ability of the Soviet Union to create other kinds of world problems. |
