When Gross had finished, small, intense Dr. John Chang, South Korean Ambassador to the U.S., was allowed to address the Council. In calm, precise English, Chang declared that the invasion was "an all-out effort. . . to bring my country under the domination of the Communist-supported puppet regime of North Korea."

Like his 1926 Resurrection, which now hangs in London's Tate Gallery, Spencer's new version of Judgment Day is laid in the Cookham graveyard.
