When I took this picture in August 9 th 1974. Richard Nixon was saying goodbye to his cabinet and the White house staff after the Watergate scandal. All his family were standing round him. You can see from their faces what they were feeling.

In 1989, I was working in London on a story when suddenly I heard the news that the Russians were planning to make Berlin an open city. So I got on a plane. When I arrived in Berlin many people, young and old, were attacking the wall with stones. The woman in the photo was shouting ‘I hate it, I hate it’

When I took this photo, we were in a hotel room in Paris in 1964. John and Paul were at the piano and at first nothing much was happening, but suddenly they became completely focused. First the melody came, and then the words. ‘Baby’s good to me you know, she’s happy as can be you know… They were composing their song I feel fine.
