1972 Press Photo Senator George McGovern holds "Atticus for Veep" sign

Senator George S. McGovern holds a "Atticus for Veep" sign as he meets with newsmen in Capitol yesterday. The Democratic presidential candidate is without a running mate and maybe Atticus would be a good one--but as it turns out, Atticus is McGovern's Newfoundland Retriever.

Photo is dated 1972.

Photo measures 8 x 9.25 inches.
