Frontiers of Research poster (English, distributed in Manila)
A square photo poster on American scientific research: a researcher at a microscope, a child at a teaching machine, a patient under a medical scanner and scientists in a greenhouse, with sections labelled Science and Education, Scientific Medicine and Atoms for Peace and Progress. The text says thousands of research bodies share the aim of enriching life. The tell is glittering generalities, with 'peace and progress' labels attached to the images.

Text on the object
FRONTIERS OF RESEARCH SCIENCE AND EDUCATION Each year America spends billions of dollars to study ways and means of reducing or eliminating the ignorance, disease, and poverty which plague a large segment of mankind. Scattered across continental United States are thousands of public and private scientific research organizations. Although each one has a different specialization and goal, they all share the ultimate aim of seeking and expanding knowledge to enrich life and make this world a better place to live in.
