DYSAUTONOMIA

Fact is, more Americans
may die by the fork than by
any other weapon. That's
because so many of them
use it irresponsibly. Like
to fill up on high-fat, high-
cholesterol foods. Foods
that can load the blood with
cholesterol, which can build
up plaque in their arteries,
increasing their risk of
heart attacks and threaten-
ing their lives. So next time
you pick up a fork, remem-
ber to handle it as you
would any other weapon.
For self-defense, not
self-destruction.

American Ballet Theatre, 1937.

Actually, Mr. Eisen-
staedt was just beyond his
30th birthday when his
career started to click.
Although an uncle had
given him a camera when
he was 13, his interest did
not focus until he turned
20. He was recuperating
from injuries sustained in
the German army during
World War I.
He went to museums to
study the composition
styles of the great master
painters and think about
how he could apply the
techniques.
His interest in photog-
raphy continued while he
worked as a button and
belt salesman from 1918 -
25. His picture of a
Czechoslovakian tennis
player was the first he
sold, and it launched his-
freelance career.
In 1935, he came to
America and soon was one
of Life's four original staff .
photographers.
Although he has pho-
tographed great thinkers
such as Albert Einstein,
world leaders such as
Winston Churchill and
glamorous movie stars .
such as Marilyn Monroe,
his greatest acclaim is
from a 1945 picture of a
sailor kissing a nurse in
Times Square on the day
World War II ended. It is
part of the Circle Gallery
display.
Reminiscing about his
trips around the globe to
give a visual perspective
to the news, he recalls a
very exciting 1955 assign-
ment in Israel.
"I was traveling with
Vice President Nixon to
Central America when I

got a cable from Life to
come back and work on a
story on Judaism," he
said. "At that time, Life
was doing stories on the
great religions.
"There is a very famous
picture from that assign-
ment I have in the South
African exhibition. It is of
a rabbi, a talmudic schol-
ar, teaching the Bible to
young students in
Jerusalem.
"When we asked the
rabbi to be photographed,
he didn't want to be on
account of his religion.
But he said to us, 'Come to
my home at night and
we'll ask the Bible
whether I can be pho-
tographed.'
"When we came to him
in the evening, he went to
his library, picked a book
with closed eyes, came
back, opened the book, put
his finger there and, after
a few minutes of reading,
said he would do it. He
read in Genesis: 'And they
shall dance before my
eyes.'
"That's the reason I
could photograph him
with his people."
Among the many Jewish
luminaries he has pho-
tographed, two instantly
flash into his mind: Irving
Berlin, who was very
pleasant, and Henry
Kissinger, who was his
subject several times.
Henry and Cristina
Ford are two Michigan-
based celebrities whose
likenesses he captured.
"Henry Ford told me I
must call him 'Henry,' and
it was very difficult for me
to call him Henry," he
said. "I did the cover story
