They in turn magnify the effect of a third kind of picture that he started taking in 1967, when he began to haul his neutral backdrops around the world and put before them tribal warriors...

Says he: "The top 10 causes of premature death in our nation are significantly influenced by personal behavior and life-style choices." Sullivan has exhorted blacks to quit smoking, cut down on drinking and lose weight. Such personal initiative, he claims, "could eliminate up to 45% of deaths from cardiovascular disease, 23% of deaths from cancer and more than 50% of the disabling complications of diabetes...
