...prisoners themselves convincingly refuted such speculation. Said Navy Captain Howard E. Rutledge: " am surprised anyone could conceive that we could come out of there and say anything but 'God bless America.' Added Lieut. Commander Everett Alvarez Jr.: "For years and years we've dreamed of this day, and we kept the faith-faith in God, in our President and in our country...
Navy Lieut. Commander Everett Alvarez Jr., who was captured in 1964 and became the longest-held prisoner in North Viet Nam, bounced down the ramp after Denton. In the second plane from Hanoi came Air Force Colonel James Robinson ("Robbie") Risner, an Air Force ace from World War II, Korea and Viet Nam, who was captured in 1965.

This is well below their market value; the Rousseau alone was resold only days later to a Japanese collector for $2,000,000.

Meantime, his sister Delia became a bitter critic of the war. "It is very...
...seemingly high-handed procedures of Director Thomas Moving in selling off various esteemed pictures without the consent of the curators involved (TIME Oct. 16). In this case, the reassessment is largely the result of the keen eye and energetic investigations of a young curator for European paintings, Everett Fahy, 31, whom Moving brought in three years ago. Many European paintings had to be moved to new galleries to make room for Henry Geldzahler's 1970 show of New York painting and sculpture, and the transfers gave Fahy and other curators an opportunity to re-examine the paintings and rewrite...
