...most familiar images--a sweaty young man with tires, a pane of falling water grasped by a naked man. Ritts uses photography to explore the human form, distilling it into clean, pure lines. Sometimes this concentration on form and line reduces the very humanity of the subject. In one photograph from a series taken at the beach, a woman heads out to sea. The smooth mass of wet hair plastered against her naked back and the dark triangle of her bikini bottom both define and contrast with the shape of her body against the glossy ripples of the ocean...
...pair of size-12, expensive, Italian-made Bruno Magli shoes, only 299 pairs of which were sold in the U.S. Simpson denied owning anything like them, going so far as to say in his January deposition that he would never wear such "ugly-ass" shoes. Then free-lance photographer Harry Scull found a photograph he had taken of Simpson walking through the end zone before a Sept. 26, 1993, Buffalo Bills game; he appears to be wearing the Bruno Magli shoes. Scull sold the picture for $2,500 to the National Enquirer, which published it in April. During a deposition...
Last week Bodziak again testified that the shoes appeared to be the same, but the defense is claiming the photograph was doctored. The defense also showed that Bodziak was unable to identify an assortment of other shoe prints surrounding the crime scene.

The FBI says it has independently verified the Navy's account and that the plane wreckage recovered so far shows no signs of a missile blast. Salinger has also made much of a photograph, published in France by the magazine Paris Match, which was taken on the outdoor deck of a Long Island restaurant on the evening of the crash, which shows a bright blip in the evening sky. A missile? But reporters and federal investigators determined that the picture was taken facing north...
...grew up shabby-genteel in Baltimore, Maryland, but he gazes out of a 1945 photograph like one of nature's born aristocrats. The face, at age 41, is lean and boyishly handsome, the hair neatly trimmed; there is a casual elegance about his dress. But the dominant features are the eyes: alert, mischievous, wary, playful, like those of an actor savoring the potential of a new role, a fresh persona. Despite the thousands of words written by and about him, Alger Hiss, who died last week at 92, remains one of the most tantalizing figures of the cold...
