>  Capa,

Having spent some time again with "Requiem" this weekend, I would suggest
that any Capa fans out there do the same, focusing particularly on the work
of Henri Huet - and Larry Burrows - and then consider how good Capa really
was or wasn't.

As I look at the work of those two, and at Capa's work, I come to the
conclusion that Capa is so revered because he was there "first," not because
he was either the best or close to it.
