Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated October 22, 1964 partially reads, "This is no longer a romantic place where scientists serenely dig for dinosaur eggs and camel caravans unconcernedly travel ancient trade routes. This area that Dorgi and I now traversed in a Soviet-made jeep was claimed by the Peking government, infiltrated by Chinese and threatened by the massing of Chinese troops along the border. There was a beauty and majesty in the scenery... the sand and surrounding mountains. It wasn't always so beautiful, Dorgi assured me, adding that during the spring and fall equinoxes it was a raging whirlpool of sand." Photograph caption reads, "Politics international - An anti-Goldwater poster is shown on display in the main square of Ulan Bator, Mongolian capital. Russian propagandists captioned the poster 'Rise of Another Hitler.'"
