Curatorial Commentary
In the lower left portion of this image, the shadow of the photographer holding his camera aloft to take the picture is clearly visible.  Based on the shape of the camera, the shape of his head and the characteristic way he is holding a cigarette in his right hand, the shadow suggests that the photographer of this picture (and thus the other pictures on this negative strip as well) is Bob Jackson.  This identification remains unconfirmed. - Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections
In the upper part of this photograph, slightly left of center, is New York Times reporter Tom Wicker.  He is seen here taking notes.  - Stephen Fagin, Curator
