It's about images, and how difficult it is to discern their true meaning. The focus of the piece is certainly not "our kind" of photography - it's on mamography and the use of photographs by the military for targeting and target assessment. But many of the points apply equally well to "Leica photography." In fact, they apply so well I am planning to have my students read the piece and then look at Bill Clough's stunning and mysterious "Madison." B. D.
