The newsphoto of the young woman transfixed in anguish above the bodies of the demonstrators murdered at Kent State was seared indelibly into the nation's consciousness. A hundred posters made use of the image. This was perhaps the sparest, concentrating the instant of shock in its survivor, her face a mute code for the gulf of betrayal. The greatly-enlarged screen dots of the newsphoto perpetuate the immediacy of the event; the legend records our vertigo.
