Both "Herb Ritts: Work" and "Face and Figure" illustrate this trend, yet Ritts' photographs tend to stress formal considerations over content.

Washington would be able to expand its longer-term strategic advantage by taking control of a larger share of Iraq's airspace, a move that would also humiliate Saddam in front of his own military. Thus, the decisions to fire two volleys of high-tech, low-casualty cruise missiles against 15 air-defense sites south of Baghdad...
