# Al Hayat fi Amrika No. 34 promotion poster (Arabic poster distributed in Beirut)

A promotion sheet for issue 34 of the Arabic-language magazine 'Life in America' (Al Hayat fi Amrika). A colour photograph shows four women in navy and work uniforms around a jeep with its bonnet raised; a black-and-white photograph shows a nurse holding a baby beside a smiling woman. Yellow text lists the issue's contents: television in the United States, the Peace Corps, Hubert Humphrey. The tell is glittering generalities: the sheet sells the issue with a cheerful picture of American life and 'valuable subjects', with no argument made.
