The Photo Exhibition is currently at the Chicago Historical Society and is a moving tribute to many of those photographers who died in Indo-China and Viet Nam during the conflict there. The exhibit contains many photos that were not in the book. A large number of the photographers represented including Robert Capa, Larry Burrows, Henry Huet, Kyoichi Sawada, and many others used Leica equipment. The exhibit runs through October 8, 2000 and admission to the museum is $5.00. The Chicago Historical Society is located on Clark Street just north of North Avenue. Also running is a large exhibit of candid photographs that Harry Benson took of the Beatles during the 1960s and early 70s. Jim Licquia
