...must protest about TIME's breaking of the embargo imposed by Buckingham Palace on the Norman Parkinson-Camera Press portraits of Princess Anne. Your Aug. 16 issue preceded the release date by several days and has caused us both embarrassment and inconvenience...

Little weight is now given to early speculation that the crisis had been set off by the death or illness of Mao, though he is 77 and a reputed sufferer from Parkinson's disease.

By the time she died last week at 67, after an agonizing 19-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Bourke-White had long been recognized as one of the world's great photographers...
