- Coretta Scott King is shown holding a stack of mail. Caption on photo reads: (AX1) ATLANTA, Oct. 20 -- THE KINGS ARE ON A 'MOUNTAINTOP' -- Mrs. Martin Luther King Jr. displays at her Atlanta home some of the congratulatory letters and telegrams received since her husband won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize. "I wish we could stay on this mountaintop forever," said Mrs. King whose family has lived with the threat of death for the past nine years. But she thinks the award will create a more favorable opinion for Rev. King's non-violent civil rights movement.
