- Description
New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange follows the directions to a pharmacy where 'french letters', or condoms, can be purchased. The French government was reluctant to acknowledge and apologise for its role in the bombing of the Greenpeace vessel Rainbow Warrior which was tied up at the Princes Wharf in Auckland, New Zealand on 10 July 1985.
In fact, Chirac was Premier or Prime Minister, rather than President, at the time this cartoon was published.
