There is hardly any agreement on which, or even how many, news photos belong in this group of photojournalistic icons. The editors of TIME have chosen ten, shown on the following pages in rough chronological order. Photography experts and working photojournalists were consulted, but in the end the selection is TIME's. Many readers will disagree with the list. That is to be encouraged.

But after two weeks of consultations in the Saudi Arabian resort of Taif, the parliamentarians -- 33 Christians and 30 Muslims -- were close to agreement on a plan to establish a "government of national reconciliation." It calls for Muslim-Christian power sharing and phased withdrawal of the 40,000 Syrian troops who have been in Lebanon under an Arab League mandate since...
