Inscriptions Typed in black ink on applied label, verso BC: (U.N.) 9/62 POLYGLOT COMMUNICATION: Russian students study French and \ English in a linguaphone class at the U.N. Language Training Center \ in Moscao. Most hope to be U.N. translators, but five of this group \ are studying to be simultaneous interpreters, whose instant in-the- \ ear-out-the-mouth feats of translation never cease to amaze U.N. \ visitors. \ Credit: UNITED NATIONS © 1962 MAGNUM Photos
