15．　　A picture is worth a thousand words, but it can't always tell the whole story. The sailor in the iconic (经典的) photo V-J Day in Times Square, George Mendonsa, died last month at age 95.
　　On Aug 14, 1945, Japan surrendered (投降) to the United States, ending World War II. American photo journalist Alfred Eisenstaedt took his camera to the streets of New York. In Times Square, people were celebrating the victory everywhere.
　　"I saw a sailor running along the street grabbing (抓住)any and every girl in sight. Whether she was a grandmother, stout (健壮的), thin, old, didn't make a difference," Eisenstaedt said.
