This image shows a printed page mounted on a brown mat board. The page is from the "Harvard Gazette" dated April 9, 1976, and includes two black-and-white photographs.

The top photograph depicts a view from above where an explosion has taken place; you can see the explosion's cloudy trail emanating from a single point and spreading outward, with straight lines that might represent shock waves. The terrain appears to be rural or possibly a lightly built area as there are trees dotted around.

Top Photograph:

  • Caption: "Dennis Heano's impressionistic 'Columbian Torch Ballet' (Oakland, California, 1974)."
