...wanted her to play the part of the star photojournalism Bourke-White captured in the pages of FORTUNE the gritty, yet poetic texture of industrial America in the 1930s, and her shot of Montana's Fort Peck Dam graced the first cover of LIFE. Bergen took to the shutter when her film career faltered, and in 1972 also made the cover of LIFE with her portrait of Comedian Charlie Chaplin and his wife Oona.

The cafeteria is crowded with students welcoming the temporary break from classes. They are joking, laughing, complaining, and the seniors are worrying about their upcoming...
...series of nude men, women and children are done without a hint of prurience and provide a brilliant study of anatomy. The price tag on this rediscovered classic is prohibitive, but no library can afford to skip works that prove photography was a high art long before the electronic-shutter and autofocus robots that now pass for cameras...
