Fountain Fantasy — Unisphere and Fountain of the Continents

FOUNTAIN FANTASY
THREE WEEKS AGO our scrapbook cameraman shot the Fair's Unisphere from the United States pavilion; today we view the global birdcage from the opposite side and catch the massive pavilion at the end of the Court of States. Setting off the Unisphere and ringed by a reflecting pool are the plumed jets of the Fountain of the Continents. They are colorfully lighted at night. At left: New England exhibit. Across top of globe: Singer Bowl. In distance: Shea Stadium.
