...fact, Hitech is so smart it disdains playing its fellow computers. Since 1986, Hitech has been competing on the regular chess circuit, matching wits only with humans.

At every step or two, the aspiring dealmaker histrionically kisses the mogul's hindquarters. Ostensibly this scene of ritual abasement between old, close friends is being staged for an audience of one, the mogul's new secretary.

For the final section of this 190- print summation of Winogrand's career, Szarkowski even had developed more than 2,500 rolls of film that the Bronx-born photographer left behind at his death. After closing on Aug. 16, the show will travel to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, Austin and Tucson, spreading Szarkowski's view that Winogrand is the "central photographer of his generation...
