# Al Hayat fi Amrika No. 33 promotion poster (Arabic poster distributed in Beirut)

A promotion sheet for issue 33 of the Arabic-language magazine 'Life in America'. A large colour portrait of a man, unnamed on the sheet, fills the upper right, and a colour photograph shows runners in USA and other vests in a stadium. The listed contents are the Nobel Peace Prize winner, the United States at the Olympic Games, Johnson in his election campaign and new sports cars. The tell is glittering generalities: prestige subjects (a peace prize, Olympic running, the president) are used to sell the issue.
