I got back to New York at the beginning of April and very quickly found myself involved in a project to go to Moscow.  Ray Errol Fox, a documentary producer, was mounting a project to go to the USSR and investigate claims of rising anti-Semitism.  As glasnost progressed and Russians began to enjoy a level of freedom they had never known before, even in the pre-Soviet era, they were also free to resurrect their ancient prejudices.

My job was to shoot video, but I did have a little free time to wander around with my 35 mm camera.

 

Missed shots: Brooke Shields and Bob Hope, who were at a party thrown by the US Embassy; Ray Flynn, the mayor of Boston; and Dizzy Gillespie, with whom I rode an elevator, but whom, in my ignorance, I did not recognize at the time.
