...popular skepticism has made important converts. Ohio's Senator Frank Lausche, a hard-beaked hawk last year, recently suggested an unconditional halt to the bombing of North Viet Nam in order to try to bring Hanoi to the conference table. Rochester's Bishop Fulton J.

After his death, his career is recalled by Frank, a government photographer and an old friend from the underground days, who now records the despot's lying in state. Frank's secret hobby is building up a huge collection of candid but forbidden photographs: "unsuitable pictures taken from unsuitable angles, the averted face of the world in which [the tyrant] moved, a parade of folly, a riot...
