...taxi driver; tipsy Uncle Billy; the man at the window who watches George court Mary and tells him to "kiss her"; the good-hearted, decorously loose woman (Gloria Grahame)--they do what friends are supposed to do, which outwardly is not all that much. Bacon, Montaigne, Emerson and a few brave others who attempted to write essays on the subject failed to define friendship because, unlike romantic love, the emotion is generally undemonstrative; it is made up of the things we do not do--betray, belittle, be harsh.

There's a fair selection of greatest hits--Edward Steichen's 1924 portrait of Gloria Swanson behind a scrim of black lace, Dorothea Lange's inevitable Migrant Mother of 1936--and some less familiar examples by big names.
