Iooss was assigned to follow Hank Aaron for a portion of the 1969 season. Usually serious of expression during this intense period of his career, Aaron burst into a genuine, hearty laugh as the legendary Satchel Paige entered the locker room. ]]>
Warhol’s Sunset prints were created using only three screens. One screen formed the sun, another the sinuous bands of background color, and the third a single-color overlaying dot pattern.
