Copy of a six-column news and picture story excerpted from a Swiss newspaper, describing contact lenses and referencing Baudouin, King of the Belgians. German language text and a photograph of the King without his usual spectacles, set against representations of him on the Belgian 20 Franc banknote and 4.50F postage stamp, also comparing him with others to have shed their spectacles including US President Johnson and the Shah of Persia, but suggesting that US Senator Barry Goldwater retains a look of intellect due to his ('ordinary window glass' lens) spectacles.
