The negative image of a double-page spread of New York Stock Exchange quotations has been overlaid with an announcement for a healing campaign led by a Pentecostal minister. Barely visible along the bottom edge are two small reproductions of historic <em>New York Times</em> front pages: the first moon landing, on July 21, 1969, and the New York Mets winning the World Series in October of the same year.
