View of Alcatraz From Afar

(Original Caption) Alcatraz, America's best known prison, basks in the sun atop island in San Francisco Bay here. Nicknamed "The Rock," Alcatraz was fast becoming the Federal Government's most embarrassing "white elephant," since it was no longer used to house the nation's most violent and vicious criminals. Several suggestions had been made as to its future use, but none was acceptable.
