Demilitarized Zone, South Korea, December 1956: The 24th Divisions DMZ Police Company's PFC Winston Mullinax (left), acts as observer on a patrol with SP3 Robert A. Bianchi, radio operator, and PFC Jerome Gillmore, patrol leader. They pulled “stationary guard” on a “small OP’ near the demilitarized zone in Korea. Pictured here is a scan of the original 1956 print created by Stars and Stripes Pacific's photo department to run in the print newspaper. The red marks indicate the crop lines. Only the middle part of the image would appear in the newspaper. As the vast majority of pre-1964 Stars and Stripes Pacific negatives and slides were unwittingly destroyed by poor temporary storage in 1963, the prints developed from the late 1940s through 1963 are the only images left of Stripes' news photography from those decades – with the exception the negatives of some 190 pre-1964 photo assignment found recently. Stars and Stripes' archives team is scanning these prints and negatives to ensure their preservation. Looking for Stars and Stripes’ historic coverage?

Artist Man Ray, photographed in his Paris studio, during an interview with Stars and Stripes reporter James Gunter.

From the Archives: His Heart Belongs to Dada

Man Ray sat chain-smoking cigarettes in a big Paris studio crammed with his circus works and shook his curly gray head about the state of the art in the world. He thinks it fails to do anything new.

Paris, France, Sep. 22, 1965: Artist Man Ray - photographed in his Paris studio - stands before some of his works. To his right stands a print of "Orchestra," one of the 10 pochoirs (stencils) from the series titled "Revolving Doors." Right behind him is a print titled "Shadows," from the same series. Man Ray produced the original "Revolving Doors" series as collages between 1916 and 1917. The collages, whose geometric shapes combine machine-like and anthropomorphic forms, were framed and installed on a rotating pole that the viewer could spin. The original collages were destroyed, but Ray later reproduced them as limited edition stencil prints (pochoirs), published by Éditions Surréalistes in Paris.
