L. D. WARREN, Cincinnati Enquirer
Using a rather menacing caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, cartoonist L. D. Warren accuses Soviet premier Khrushchev of lying during the 1958 Geneva Summit aimed at reducing nuclear weapons. While calling for a peace summit, Khrushchev openly warned Europeans of the dangers to which their governments exposed them by failing to negotiate with him. At the same time, Khrushchev claimed, "I am proud to be regarded as a propagandist against war, for disarmament," which increased international mistrust of him. L. D. Warren spent the last twenty-six years of his fifty-year cartooning career with the Cincinnati Enquirer.
