Apropos of the entry below, the most recent issue of The Common Review (the publication of The Great Books Foundation), contains a review of Watching the World Change , which states:

"[The author] has begun the valuable process of explaining how the visual record will play out in history, and how those images require language, require story, in order to make sense at all. Finally, Friend is also quite perceptive about the political consequences, and the political manipulation of photographs for the sake of policy."
