Alternate title(s)	Meet what we'll have to tackle
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection; Cartoon by Vic Runtz. With his right hand, President Richard Nixon gestures toward a group of very large men with menacing faces who are wearing old-style football uniforms without helmets. Nixon looks over his left shoulder and says, "And now, team..." The uniforms of the men bear the labels "Poverty amid plenty, Inflation, Vietnam, Disrespect for authority, Nuclear age arms race, Racial rancor, white and black, Pollution" and "Etc." Runtz's signature cat holds a wreath of roses with a ribbon that says, "Good luck, Dick!" The cartoon caption reads, "...Meet what we'll have to tackle!"
