Title	The march of Soviet time; June 12, [1963?]
Description	From the AAEC Editorial Cartoon Collection. Cartoon by John Stampone. In the four frames of this cartoon, Uncle Sam sits at a table with Nikita Khrushchev in a room with a window and a grandfather's clock that is chiming the hour. The time on the clock is different in each frame, as is the view of the outdoors through the window. In three frames, Khrushchev is smoking a cigarette and ignoring Uncle Sam's attempts to talk, and Uncle Sam grows more weary in each frame. In the first, Uncle Sam holds a paper labeled "Test ban talks" the clock shows 1:00, and snow is falling outdoors. The tree outside has no leaves. In the second, Uncle Sam's paper reads "Disarmament talks" the clock shows 4:00, outdoors it is night, and the tree has some leaves. In the third, Uncle Sam's paper reads, "Laos talks" the clock shows 6:00, the sun is [apparently] rising, and the tree is in full leaf. Uncle Sam has put his hands and head on the table in apparent defeat, and the Soviet man is looking at the clock. In the last frame, Khrushchev holds a paper labeled "Soviet's Berlin deadline demand" shouts, and shakes a fist over his head. The sun continues to rise, and the state of the tree resembles that in the third frame. Uncle Sam appears dazed. The cartoon caption reads, The march of Soviet time."
