Black and white press print of an older white man (Lester Maddox) in a suit holding a pair of buffalo horns to his forehead. Includes caption "AJP091602-9/16/70-ATLANTA: "Some people think I have horns and this must be the way I look to them." Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox-who likes to have as much fun as the next person-shows off a pair of water buffalo horns that was sent to him by a Georgia serviceman in Vietnam. The letter that was enclosed said the horns was given to the soldier after his Company routed Viet Cong from a village where several of the villagers had been killed. The soldier explained that the villagers had sacrificed the $800 buffalo because of the loss of their friends and relatives in the Cong raid.(UPI)"
