whats the jackanory ? says:
video of Jacob Holdts NYPH’09 talk. Holdts appearance had been the talk of the festival and he was spotted entertaining admirers out and about at Wednesday and Thursdays parties. Jonathan Saunders delivered on the audio earlier but now comes video courtesy WTJ? Mr Holdt has led quite the life as you will see. A true original. Entertaining and informative stuff.

What if, Justice Potter Stewart asked a lawyer for The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case in 1971, a disclosure of sensitive information in wartime “would result in the sentencing to death of 100 young men whose only offense had been that they were 19 years old and had low draft numbers?” The Times’s lawyer, Alexander M. Bickel, tried to duck the question, but the justice pressed him:

The photo became one of the war’s defining images. Mr. Van Es took other memorable pictures of the conflict, like one of a wounded soldier, a cross gleaming against his silhouette, from the battle of Hamburger Hill in May 1969.

This is a really great look at covering a war — through a photojournalist’s lens. LA Times photojournalist Rick Loomis takes you from his storage locker in California into battle in Fallouja. The self portraits over time are very telling, and there are some fun stories about drinking Saddam’s wine seeing a woman for the first time in weeks.

WE ARE SUPERVISION says:
Every city has its own gang history, part of Chicago’s are Gang cards, most prominent in the 70’s and early 80’s, back in the day when a gang was more of a neighborhood crew then what it is today. Fists, bats, and bottles days, before guns became the norm in the gang. Most of the gangs were just about the neighborhood and hanging out together. Stock art from the printer as well as some hand drawn illustrations were the back bone of many of the cards.
