From Monday to Thursday we’ll quiz you on all things American. Diplomats descend on New York City this week for this year’s session of the United Nations General Assembly. Our questions for you are on UNGAs of yore.
Thursday: A playground built on the grounds of the UN’s headquarters in 1941 was named for which imperious New York City official, known as much for knocking buildings down as for constructing them?
Wednesday: Hugo Chávez once called his American counterpart “the devil” and claimed that he had left the “smell of sulphur” behind him when he visited the UN. Who was Venezuela’s president referring to?
See how to take part in the quiz at the bottom of this page.
