Pacem in Terris
I took this picture at McMurdo Sound, Antarctica around 3 a.m. on December 25, 1966 as some of my shipmates and I made our way back from the McMurdo “Playboy Club” to the U.S.S. Atka, a Navy icebreaker that no longer exists. Given the other military options available to young men on that date, it was not a bad place to be. The picture illustrates, I think, a dirty little secret known to all men and a few women and that is that men–especially hetrosexual men who have worked, lived and played together under difficult circumstances–love each other best.
