The Smithsonian Institution has just launched an online exhibition and interactive photo project-database-"Webinar," curated by scholar Marvin Heiferman, called "Click! Photography Changes Everything." Yours truly has a piece up on the Website (adapted from Watching the World Change) about the importance of Wolfgang Staehle's photographic sequence taken on the morning of September 11. Please take a look. The site will grow each week as the Smithsonian adds more offerings.

Also... On the VF DAILY Blog this week, at VanityFair.com, I discuss the new book L'Irak N'Exist Plus by Regis Le Sommier, the New York correspondent for Paris Match, who has reported extensively on 9/11, its aftermath, and the war in Iraq.
