...McGinley, who was attending Parsons School of Design, all that sounded like grist for photos, so he began documenting his high-energy world and sent a collection to magazines and museums. The images were unairbrushed and unironic, which freed them of the twin burdens of prettiness and ponderousness. He titled the portfolio "The Kids Are Alright," and the pictures apparently were too since New York City's fabled Whitney Museum snapped them up and exhibited them in 2002, making McGinley the youngest artist it ever honored with a solo show...

The most recent victim was the newspaper Cambio Sonora, published in Hermosillo, the capital of the state of Sonora. Violence--including two grenade attacks on its offices-- caused the newspaper to announce on May 24 that it was temporarily shutting down. Seven journalists have been murdered in Mexico since October, mostly in retaliation for reporting on the drug cartels...
