...commercialism, Steichen had a human side. He served his adopted country in World War I, and his work in aerial reconnaissance photography persuaded him to abandon the painterly pictorialist style for clear, precise images. At 60, he enlisted in Word War II, specializing in public relations photos and documentaries. From time to time, Steichen would drop out of commercial life to tend his own garden, literally. He loved flowers, breeding them (an iris is named after him) and photographing them. His floral pictures provide almost the only color in this dramatic, black-and-white show...
...teams. That there was once a stronger link between enterprising attack and tries was largely due to the fact that the amateur players of yesteryear would tire to an extent that today's pros - bigger, faster, fitter - don't. Imagine rugby league adding two extra players to each side and changing the 10-m rule to a 0-m rule. The resultant stalemate would be a guide to what's happening now in rugby...

Halberstam ’55 later unapologetically called “a fool.” McNamara, sensing danger, fled through a Quincy House door, and was escorted to the Yard through an underground tunnel...
...eight years in self-imposed exile, killing at least 85 and sending more than 75 critically injured to nearby hospitals. The bulletproof truck of the two-time former Prime Minister was rocked by the explosions, which intelligence reports are saying were caused by explosive-laden vehicles parked on the side of the road, about 30 meters away from Bhutto's party. An unconfirmed report said that the first explosion may have been caused by a suicide bomber. Members of Bhutto's entourage escaped with minor injuries, but the crowds lining the path took the full brunt of the blasts. Party...
