Description
A small group of individuals is assembled outside a building with glass block walls and curtained windows. Several people appear to be reporters—one holding a microphone labeled with a "4" logo, another operating a film camera, and one holding a notepad. In the center, a person in a striped shirt stands with arms crossed, observing. Two individuals in the foreground wear white shirts with "LOVE CANAL" text. The setting appears to be a press event or public statement.
