How do photojournalists get the pictures that bring us the action from the world's most dangerous places? How do picture editors decide which photos to scrap and which to feature on the front page? Find out in Get the Picture, a personal history of fifty years of photojournalism by one of the top journalists of the twentieth century. John G. Morris brought us many of the images that defined our era, from photos of the London air raids and the D-Day landing during World War II to the assassination of Robert Kennedy. He tells us the inside stories behind dozens of famous pictures like these, which are reproduced in this book, and provides intimate and revealing portraits of the men and women who shot them, including Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and W. Eugene Smith. A firm believer in the power of images to educate and persuade, Morris nevertheless warns of the tremendous threats posed to photojournalists today by increasingly chaotic wars and the growing commercialism in publishing, the siren song of money that leads editors to seek pictures that sell copies rather than those that can change the way we see the world. "His best stories from the field are not tagging along with Capa and Hemingway...or having drinks at the Ritz in Parts with Marlene Dietrich; they are his less flashy but moving descriptions of the Japanese internment camps in California." - Leslie Cockburn, Los Angeles Times Book Review

GOING TO CHURCH -- THE LATIN LITURGY. It was Sunday morning, and the parents and Amelia were preparing to go to church. Politeness led them to iuvite Giu- letta to accompany them, and they were surprised and delighted to see her readiness to go. Charles also made preparations, and the mother secretly rejqiced at it. It was not so with the father. He was silent, but his stern countenance too plainly discovered that his mind was deeply disturbed. Finally, as they were about to depart, and Charles reached after his hat, the father asked, " Do you intend to accompany us ? to go with us to church ?" " Yes " said he; "I hope that you will not disapprove of it." " I think it exceedingly strange, my son. You regarded us as so grossly erroneous in our religious opinions that you separated from us, and yet you will go with us to church ? So you will do a thing which you know to be wrong ? And is it not directly against the principles of your church to enter a heretical place of worship ? Is it not forbidden by your priests ?" "That prohibition," said Charles, with great confidence, "does not affect me, for I have received a dispensation, and have permission not only to go to Protestant churches, but also to celebrate the Lord's supper with them, and to observe all their church rites." m "Silence, sir " cried out the father, with great violence; " silence, and stay back You cannot...
