...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. The result of his work was not an instant captured in time but timelessness captured...
...troubling questions were sparked by pictures taken at the scene by two Israeli newspaper photographers, Alex Libak of Hadashot and Shmuel Rachmani of Ma'ariv. Libak's photograph shows a young man, handcuffed and looking uninjured, being led away from the bus by a pair of security officials dressed in civilian clothes.

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...
Slow Learner, a collection of five short stories written and published while the author was in his early 20s, has no photograph on the dust jacket. Pynchon fans have come to expect that. The book does offer one major surprise: a 20-page introduction that amounts to Pynchon's first public gesture toward autobiography. Yet for all the apparent candor of these remarks, buyers should still beware. Pynchon criticizes the young writer he once was on a number of counts: for having a tin ear for dialogue, for tailoring plots and characters to the design of abstract concepts...
