History

(Avengers I#98) – After a pro-war demonstration by the militant Warhawks, Les Bancroft interviewed Chinese UN delegate Wo Tong about the possible impact the demonstration would have on peace talks between China and the U.

After Wo Tong’s comments, Les turned the microphone over to Ralph Willard, who was broadcasting from the streets of New York.
