Reflections: The Most Important Thing A President Can Do For His Country Is Love Its People
1971

A black and white photograph featuring a tombstone-shaped sign with the inscription "THE MOST IMPORTANT THING A PRESIDENT CAN DO FOR HIS COUNTRY IS LOVE ITS PEOPLE." In the background, an American flag is partially visible, waving to the left side of the frame. The setting appears industrial or residential with a chain-link fence, utility poles, and a building in the distance. The word "REFLECTIONS" is printed at the top, and there's a note at the bottom that reads "Not to be reproduced without permission permission." The credit "GORDON COSTER / © 1972 TIME" is in the lower right corner.
