'The Kitchen Debate'

It is safe to say that this captured moment of an impromptu discussion between the two global leaders - Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and U.S .Vice President Richard Nixon - has changed the course of history. Taken by Elliott Erwitt and seen by millions, the photograph divided the public in two and, some believe, may have even swayed votes. The discussion occured in 1959 during a National Exhibition curated by US in Moscow's Sokolniki Park. The exhibition was intended to display the benefits of a capitalist society. During a tour of the displays, a discussion broke out between the two heads of states on Communism versus Capitalism. As the majority of the conversation took place near a model American kitchen, the famous captured dialogue has become known as the "Kitchen Debates."
