Depiction: At least seven men and women lay on their backs and hold hands as they block traffic at the Vandenberg Air Force Base. Two long lines of cars can be seen backing up behind them. A photographer is taking their picture and a military official in fatigues and a helmet with face shield is looking down and pointing a finger at them as though reprimanding. They are there protesting nuclear weapons. Photo caption reads: Seven protestors lay on the ground blockading a line of cars going into the Vandenberg Air Force Base early Monday morning. The protestors are protesting the testing of nuclear missles on the base.
