...months after Pearl Harbor, Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order No. 9066, a proclamation that ultimately consigned 110,000 Japanese Americans to ten internment camps. Though more than two-thirds of them were U.S. citizens, they were presumed to be security risks. The largest of the "relocation centers" was Tule Lake, a 26,000-acre dry lake bed 290 miles north of San Francisco. Last week a group of 200-wartime residents, their children and friends-visited the camp. TIME Correspondent Joe Boyce joined the pilgrimage. His report...

The 18th century residents of the country around Hollywood, if this picture is as well authenticated as it claims to be, were pretty much like the present inhabitants. They lolled about in the sun and slept in breezy, tule-thatched cabañas (called hogans). They swam in the afternoon and painted themselves luridly before going out in the evening.
