...collect as much incident as possible within the frame. He favored a flash at long exposure, for its jittery harshness. He also went in for blurred images: smudged bodies in motion, heads so close to the lens that they dissolve into gaseous globes. The archetypal Klein photo is Minigang, Amsterdam Avenue, 1954. A boy with his face screwed into a fury pokes a blurry gun straight at the camera, while a young friend at his arm questions the act with his eyes.

A needle-exchange program would necessarily have to start small. Only about 15% of the state's estimated 60,000 addicts are in registered treatment programs or in touch with public-health street workers, who periodically enter "shooting galleries" to warn users of the dangers of AIDS. An initial research study would be inexpensive, said Rutledge, and could be paid for out of the state health department's existing budget...
