Title	Gently down the stream; May 2, 1969
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by Vic Runtz. President Richard Nixon rows a boat down a rapidly moving stream accompanied by an attractive woman whose billowing scarf is labeled "USA." Nixon's eyes are on the woman and not on the obstacles in the stream. The boat has just passed a rock labeled "Korean incident" the tip of which protrudes from the surface of the stream, and a floating buoy with "First hundred days." Behind Nixon, artist Runtz's signature cat sits in the bow of the boat sweating in fear at the view of the rocks upstream. The rocks are close together and bear the labels "Riots" "Inflation" "Poverty" "Vietnam" "ABM" and "Etc." The caption reads: "Gently down the stream."
