...particularly bottomless when it came to The Paris Review, which he ran out of his home for decades. But what radiates is a person of massive charm, entirely at ease with his own unease. Muhammad Ali, sensing someone who got the joke about himself, called Plimpton "Kennedy," while the actual Kennedys welcomed him into their lives as a confidant. It was Plimpton, at Bobby's side, who wrestled the gun away from Sirhan Sirhan, a rare example of sadness that he did not mine for storytelling...

The exception to this rule comes in a pair of images that Karsh took while on the set of the 1964 film “Zulu,” which show the actual Zulu warriors staring up at movie screens in expressions of pure delight, joy, and wonderment. Some of Karsh’s earliest work, while not quite so brilliant as those later portraits, prove to be interesting from the historical perspective of the evolution of the artist. Again, these photographs...
