...ball game, all intent upon the game, gives us a sneaky opportunity to examine the varieties of humanity without the danger of being observed. The snapshot style of photography is harshly unforgiving--its picture of humanity reveals all the tedious banality of everyday man. Every wrinkle, every paunch and every over-made-up face is starkly immortalized. When the snapshot does confront its subject, its look is electric. The nakedness with which people's eyes reveal their often distasteful natures comes as a shock to the viewer. Herein lies one of snapshot photography's greatest pitfalls, however. At its best...
...Parent, six weeks short of 30, hardly looks like the kind of man around whom such an up heaval could swirl, let alone the kind who would voluntarily face up to a smashing slap shot. He sports a closely trimmed mustache, graying hair and just the hint of a paunch on his 5-ft. 10-in., 195-lb. frame. He has a smooth, unscarred face despite his 18 warring years in the net.

A devoted Churchill fan, Burton owns a pair of Winnie's cuff links and has a framed telegram from him on his wall. In the past year alone, he has read a score of books and articles on his idol. Burton's assessment: "He was the best actor of our times -playing himself, of course...
...passed leisurely days at Seal Harbor with Happy and their two children, Nelson, 10, and Mark, 7. To those who know him, Rockefeller had never seemed more fit. His 185 Ibs. are evenly distributed over his 5-ft. 10-in. frame, and there is no hint of a paunch. With his rolling, nautical gait, protruding brow and drooping eyelids, he has the perpetual look of a man facing a severe northeaster-or could it be constant political gales...
