...cover portrait of choreographer Bill T. Jones, as well as all the photographs of black artists accompanying the story, were shot by staff photographer Ted Thai. For good measure, Thai also took the striking portraits of Yale scholar Harold Bloom and hot young filmmaker Quentin Tarantino in this week's issue. As deputy picture editor MaryAnne Golon points out, "Ted has a gift for thinking of imaginative ways to incorporate an artist's discipline into a photograph."

The picture immediately became an icon of Africa's anguish. Hundreds of people wrote and called the Times asking what had happened to the child (the paper reported that it was not known whether she reached the feeding center); and papers around the world reproduced the photo. Friends and colleagues complimented Carter on his feat. His self-confidence climbed...
