I recall seeing something on TV a long time ago about Rockwell's paintings but they never showed this one. They claimed the only political one he ever did was of the little girl being escorted to school surrounded by U.S. Marshalls.

Pity they didn't use it on the cover. Just as Cronkite saying we should get out of Vietnam changed people's minds, Norman Rockwell's departure from his usual content and style might have reached some people.
