...Arlington's unknown servicemen. General de Gaulle drove down Pennsylvania Avenue to his first official White House conference. When he came out 75 minutes later, his long, solemn face intimidated even Washington's hard-case press corps.

...superb photographic still lifes of the Kremlin's quasi-barbaric, Byzantine splendors, caught with eloquent precision by David Douglas Duncan's camera. This glittering hoard-jeweled scepters and prayer books, imperial gowns and priestly vestments, carriages and thrones-was buried art treasure until Duncan wangled Khrushchev's permission in 1956 to roam the Kremlin's history-haunted, relic-strewn halls and cathedrals with his Leica...
