As I remember, Parr was made a member of Magnum when they decided they needed 
to join the real world. But many members,  most importantly Jones-Griffith, 
thought his work WAY out of place at  the agency known for concerned 
photography. J-G made a big stink, wrote a letter, etc. But you have to admit 
that Parr has made an enormous contribution-- to advertising!  Arthur
