Behind him is a red-white-and-blue background and Kennedy is outlined by a bright yellow burst of light that also falls on one side of his face. The portrait is bordered with a narrow white frame. In the bottom right corner of the portrait is the associated cover line printed in black text that reads, [BOBBY / KENNEDY]. Just below, printed in the white frame, is the artist’s name printed in black, stylized, block text that reads [ROY LICHTENSTEIN]. The masthead, printed in blue text, which is partially obscured by the top of Kennedy’s head, reads [TIME]. The price and date are printed in black text at the top of the front cover, [FIFTY CENTS ®] on the left and [May 24, 1968] on the right. The interior pages are white with black and red text, black-and-white photographs, color photographs, and illustrations. The magazine’s cover article about Kennedy’s presidential campaign is titled, “Nation: R.F.K.: WHAT THIS COUNTRY IS FOR.” The back cover features an advertisement for Tareyton 100’s cigarettes. This magazine issue is one hundred and ten (110) pages.
