...Women's lib it was called then, short for liberation, of course, but unconsciously, closer to women's lip, with all attendant condescending connotations ("Ah shut up, I've had enough of your ..."). It was tough to be called a libber, even if you took pride in the politics, and those at first were mean. They were the politics of long frustration and new anger, and it was men who took the heat: as repressive husbands, lackadaisical fathers, selfish sex partners, exclusionary businessmen, blind-sided artists and perpetrators of a patriarchy that had to be overthrown. Even Shakespeare...

...only Schell's boss but his mentor as well. Insiders at the magazine believe that Shawn, 74, hopes that Schell, 38, will eventually succeed him-an idea that has caused some resistance among the staff, partly because Schell got a reputation as an overly emotional, "radic-lib" opponent of the Viet Nam War.

...himself the literally endless task of making photographs, some on commission and others ad lib, of France, especially the part of France that lay in Paris and within a radius of 50 miles around it. They were not meant to be tourist views-he never, for instance, photographed that most distinctive of all Parisian "sights," the Eiffel Tower. Nor were they meant to reveal spectacular oddities; there are no extreme closeups, wrenching details or aerial views in Atget, and the lens of his old-fashioned camera was always pitched at the height of a small man.
