During the Cuban Missile Crisis, Adlai Stevenson, our ambassador, spoke to the Security Council. He was armed with photos of the missile installations taken from U-2 planes. The Soviet Ambassador had been denying such installations existed. Stevenson asked him for an answer to the photos, and the Soviet was silent. Stevenson said "Mr. Ambassador, I am prepared to wait here until hell freezes over for a response."

THAT is the Adlai Stevenson moment.
