Editorial cartoon drawing shows two hairy, muscular, anthropomorphic atomic bombs labeled "U.S. A-Tests" and "Soviet Intransigence" sitting at a table on which is a ringing alarm clock and a paper waiting to be signed that is labeled "A-Test Inspection Treaty." The U.S. atomic bomb is about to blow his top waiting for the Soviet atomic bomb to sign the treaty; the Soviet Union refused to accept on-site inspections of its nuclear weapons program, which caused a delay in the signing of a nuclear test-ban treaty.
