Title	As the news was greeted around the world; April 3, 1968
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection; Cartoon by John Collins. Five of six panels show world leaders reading newspaper headlines of Lyndon Johnson's decision not to seek reelection in 1968. Canada's Lester B. Pearson says, "Those Americans! Always taking Canadian ideas!" The United Kingdom's Harold Wilson says, "It might give people ideas." His upside down pipe drops ashes to the floor as he speaks. A framed picture on the wall behind Wilson shows an arm shaking Poseidon's pitchfork above water. Aleksey Kosygin holds a copy of Pravda and says, "There's a great thought for Mao!" Charles de Gaulle stands before an elegantly framed portrait of himself wearing royal robes and crown and carrying a sceptre. The portrait is labeled, "Le grand Charles." De Gaulle's newspaper headline reads, "Le grand Lyndon to retire" and he says, "How mortal of him." Mao Tse-tung says, "Will Kosygin take the hint?" The sixth panel, labeled Hanoi, shows only a large question mark. The cartoon caption reads, "As the news was greeted around the world."
