...inspection. It calls for all visible chicken feces to be washed away but doesn't deal with the invisible pathogens left behind. "All that would be inspected under this plan is the diligence of the washing procedure," says Rodney Leonard, who ran the USDA's inspection agency in the 1960s...
...1960s, amid the general decay of national certainties, Frank's book made the transition from infamous to revered. Suddenly his gloom seemed prophetic. His faith that the best pictures were tentative, imperfect and free of rhetoric became the model for any photographer coming to grips with the ambiguities of the American civilization.

It was Woodstock I, not Whitewater. It was the 1969 World Series, not the baseball strike. It was the Peace Corps, not a recruiting meeting for Goldman Sachs. It was John and Yoko, not Woody and Soon...
