the 'children' photos were haunting...the refugees and the 15-year old German 'soldier' had that look of human despair...and the mother and children from Tennessee is a great look at a part of America from a time not so long ago...we have overcome that poverty...to some degree, but sadly we have not eliminated it and in some respects it is once again growing...

and on a more upbeat note: Richthofen and Che are remarkably young and handsome...Che has that smile of knowledge and looks so "un-stressed"...especially considering what he was caught up in the middle of...the world is not kind to the true revolutionaries, regardless of their cause...and history gets written about their flaws more than their achievements...
