U.S. Secretary of Defense Wilson meets with Marshal Zhukov, the Soviet Minister of Defense. The two men are standing in the center of the cartoon. Zhukov, on the left, is wearing a military uniform including dozens of medals. Wilson is wearing a suit and has one arm around Zhukovs shoulders. Wilson begins to tell Zhukov about his time as CEO of General Motors, then interrupts himself to ask Zhukov if he drives a Cadillac. Some Choice Past Wilsonianas are illustrated on the left edge of the cartoon; a dog illustrates his bird-dog kennel-dog remarks.
