| Description | Cartoon shows President John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arguing violently at a podium at the United Nations, each claiming to have a better disarmament plan. Behind them, through a large hole in the wall, can be seen flying missiles and mushroom clouds. During the Cold War, the threat of nuclear weapons caused both sides to call for disarmament, although the sincerity of the proposals was questionable. Kennedy addressed the opening session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 25, 1961. Meanwhile, both the United States and the Soviet Union announced that they were resuming nuclear testing. Conrad was an outspoken cartoonist whose later cartoons criticizing President Nixon caused him to be placed on that president's enemies list. |
