Description
In memory of Watergate - A man sits on the bench waiting for his train. He appears absorbed reading his newspaper. President Nixon and Dean are on the front page. A boy sits next to him eating his ices oblivious to the headlines. The Watergate scandal occupied most of the news in 1973. It was a defining moment in history when an American President was forced out of office. I remember standing at the top of the stairs to take this photo.

A fantastic photojournalistic shot. I must say, I also thought of Henry Kissinger as soon as I looked at the man in the foreground.
Madeline Ellis replied:
Thanks so much Robert. You know I never before noticed the resemblance to Kissinger, but I certainly see it now.

Outstanding photo, and boy what memories this brings back! As a teen in a remote log cabin in Wyoming, I could only follow the historic events via a tiny, fuzzy and intermittent transistor radio. The absorbing interest on the newspaper reader's face is an iconic image. Oddly, the man closest to the camera reminds me a little of Henry Kissenger. Thanks for sharing this amazing picture!
