Current issue, just in, has a Will Wright review of David Douglas Duncan's book "Faceless," about his rencontre with HCB at the outdoor cafe of the Picasso Museum in Paris in May 2000. Duncan is reported to have asked HCB to borrow his Leica Minilux and a roll of TMax 400 and shot the whole roll of HCB. All was well until DDD decided to publish the photos in a slender book; it provoked HCB to start litigation to prohibit publication in France. But it was published in New York, cover photo is of HCB behind a Minilux (non-zoom). Seth LaK 9
