Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 28, 1979
Transcript:
Man: Senator Church, if I may just make one last comment... Senator: Of course, General. Man: Senator, I think it's fair to say that if it had not been for the vigilance of the U.S. Senate, this major crisis in Cuba might have degenerated into a minor diplomatic squabble easiliy handled by the State Department. By refusing to fan the flames of moderation, a calm, negotiated solution has been narrowly averted. Thanks you and "Operation Manhood," the American people have been given another chance to show that they're still number one! Senator: Thank you, General, I appreciate that. Man: Thank you, Senator. And good luck with your re-election.
