| Description | Editorial cartoon shows "Communist China's Mao Zedong and the Soviet Union's Nikita Khrushchev seemingly united by the Soviet symbol of the hammer and sickle. Each, however, clenches his fist and appears to glare at the other with a grim expression, body language that indicates a face off between the two communist leaders. Herblock captures a tension possibly arising from Zedong's annoyance at Khrushchev's coexistence policies and withdrawal of Soviet assistance in construction projects in China in 1960."
