...daily commuting. They no longer wander in late because of railroad tie-ups, and they tend to stay to clean up the day's work rather than flee at the stroke of 5 p.m. to catch the next train. Some firms have even been able to lengthen their formal work week. The Olin Corp., whose 1969 move from Manhattan to Stamford led off the exodus to Fairfield County, cut its lunch period from one hour to half an hour; Union Carbide, which now works its employees seven hours a day in New York City, will adopt an eight-hour...
These one-on-one meetings are often the most intensive encounters of the week. For two to four hours, Earle and Semyonov trade previews of proposals to be tabled at more formal sessions a few days later, and sometimes they pick up signals of new flexibility in each others' positions-or of new troubles ahead...

...realist: but it is not a very strict dichotomy, as Szarkowski himself stresses. The typical photo in this show, mirror or window, is cool, low in narrative content, linguistically sophisticated, beautifully made and, by the conventions of photojournalism, not very arresting. Its pleasures have to do with formal wit, mild irony and surrealist incongruity. One sees a thing nailed down with a decisive tap, as when Lee Friedlander, a deceptively casual imagemaker, positions his eyeline on an ordinary suburban street to get a flowering shrub directly behind a lamppost, so that the street light seems to be emitting great sprays...
