President De Gaulle of France made a ten-day official state visit to Mexico - the first ever by a French President - and the French possessions of Guadaloupe, Martinique and French Guiana. His visit was disliked by the US but well received in Latin America, especially in Mexico where he delivered a five-minute speech in Spanish from memory. Abu depicts De Gaulle dressed as a Catholic priest, praying with other anti-American countries - Mexico, Vietnam, Turkey and Africa.

After the assassination of President Kennedy in November 1963, his vice president, Lyndon Johnson, succeeded him. The following year the Republican party nominated Arizona's right-wing senator Barry Goldwater as its presidential candidate to stand against Johnson for election to the White House. Goldwater, who held that 'Extremism in the defence of liberty is no vice', ran a PR campaign that included photos of himself dressed in the 'uniform' of his home state, wearing a cowboy hat and holding a gun. Abu shows Johnson and the gun-toting Goldwater in an Arizona landscape with its unique giant saguaro cactus plants. (Johnson beat Goldwater in a landslide victory, tasking 61% of the votes.)
