...parking lot reserved for top military brass, down the steps, and sloping out over the rolling wall, demonstrators spilled. Some of them were warming themselves in front of bonfires made with ripped-up placards and sticks. A long line of buses with their headlamps glowing strung-out along the access roads. The air was chilly but still evening-calm, and a heavy yellow moon hung over the whole scene...

Among these "impossible pictures" are: 1) high angle shots, among them an exposure showing part of Westminster Abbey and the book's color frontispiece representing the Denver Hilton Hotel, which could have been taken only from vantages barred to the earthbound photographer; 2) shots of objects which have apparently never...
