Instead, the military personnel that watched over the Trenton, N.J. airport I used this Thanksgiving only heightened traveler anxiety. With his rifle strap bowing out around his well-trained belly and his glassy gaze groping for something, anything more exciting than the tired scene before him, the soldier probably wanted nothing more than to go back to whatever post he held four months...
...suicide bomb attack. In death, Massoud has become even more iconic than in life. His picture hangs in shop windows across the northern Afghan capital of Mazar-i-Sharif and is pasted in the windshields of Alliance pickups and jeeps. Along every street those calm, hooded eyes gaze out from their baggy sockets. He's the Che Guevara of northern Afghanistan, its Mandela, Marley, JFK.

A 1952-55 photograph, “Untitled,” taken of a middle-aged man wearing dark glasses and a bow-tie depicts an affecting sense of gravity. The dignified, serious gaze of the sitter shows a quiet, restrained pride. Another Keïta portrait, also untitled and taken in 1959, shows a similarly grave young girl, her arms swung casually over a straight-backed chair. The girl’s elaborate white dress and beads provide a stark contrast to her frank...
