# News in Pictures poster, No. 4 (Arabic, Beirut)

An Arabic fold-out photo sheet with a fisheye view of the UN General Assembly hall and four captioned stories: Presidents Johnson and Kaunda exchanging portraits, a Guinean woman modelling Kennedy and Lincoln cloth, the opening of the African Development Bank in Lagos and Martin Luther King, Jr., receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo. The tell is card-stacking: successes and honours are selected, and the Kennedy, Lincoln and King images carry their prestige to the sheet.
