Finally convinced, they published a cover story in 1965  that went on for 16 pages, and it created a sensation. Then, and over  the intervening years, Nilsson?s painstakingly made pictures informed  how humanity feels about . . . well, humanity. They also were  appropriated for purposes that Nilsson never intended. Nearly as soon as  the 1965 portfolio appeared in LIFE, images from it were enlarged by  right-to-life activists and pasted to placards.</blockquote>
