高潔な知性と卓越した雄弁で国連の危機に殉じた「理想の外交官」

A presidential candidate who drew passionate support from Democrats, and an outstanding politician who stood on the front lines of the Cold War as U.S. Ambassador to the UN under the Kennedy administration. During the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, he confronted the Soviet representative on the floor of the UN Security Council with photographic evidence of nuclear missile deployments, fiercely declaring he was prepared to wait "until Hell freezes over" for an answer, successfully navigating a hair-trigger crisis. Amid the rough seas of U.S.-Soviet confrontation, he valued multilateral cooperation and reason, embodying America's moral leadership in the international community as a giant of intellect.
