Scope and content
In a daring attempt, Cornelius C. Penner secured a reporter’s pass to a United Nations event in New York where Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev would attend. On September 23, 1960, Penner picked his opportunity to approach the premier to give him a petition to release his family. But within a few feet of Khrushchev, a UN security agent came between them, and a Russian agent behind the UN man grabbed the petition. Bald Khrushchev looked on with concern.
