...Everything." First of all there is that picture on the cover of a very Joan Baezish looking girl (unkempt man's shirt and stringy hair and all) gazing pensively into the darkness. She evidently belongs to a photo essay, "Letter from a Fortified City," by Kenneth Andau...
Several of Andau's pictures are very good, but the whole "face of suffering and anxiety" theme has just been beaten into the ground. One 'Cliffie remarked to his reviewer, "Why doesn't anyone take pictures of happy people any more?"

Once again, there was the press of newsmen and refugees, the snatches of conversation, the handshakes and the good wishes, and once again on Nixon's part a winning display of cordial good fellowship. After that came Traiskirchen, another camp, another crowd. The visitor's one quiet moment came as he attended a Christmas party and play for the refugee children...
