Those who define themselves by a specific adversary have always acknowledged the bond. A faded photograph from 1962: at a Soviet-American track-and-field championship in Palo Alto, Calif., Siberian High Jumper Valeriy Brumel sprang past Bostonian John Thomas for his world record of 7 ft. 5 in. The American crowd cheered without reservation. Thomas hugged and pounded Brumel. On impulse, Valeriy and Tennessee Long Jumper Ralph Boston took a lap around the stadium to unreserved applause. Only the audience has changed...
...public figure. Artistically, his popularity reflected the fact that his classic 19th century style possessed more than a trace of romanticism. "People look at my pictures," he said a few years ago, "and then accept them, in a sense, as reality." But it was the heightened reality of a photographer who made nature seem like Nature. "You don't take a photograph, you make it," he once said. Adams made himself into a photographer and then made others see the world through his eyes.

On the other hand, Klein also showed the photo to the bus driver and four passengers; all five said that the man was not one of the terrorists. "I can't say the matter is clear-cut either way," Klein told TIME Jerusalem...
...looking through one of those new shiny magazines and suddenly your gaze rests on yet another Calvin Klein ad, but this time it's for women's underwear, a fact which is nevertheless not immediately apparent since the woman in the photograph bears little clear resemblance to a woman. She is shaped like a woman from the waist up, but apparently has a male crouch. Look all the way through that magazine, however, and you won't find an ad for the name product made by Jockey, called "Jockeys for her." Jockey's ad, which was very quickly discontinued, showed...
