In the latest Newsweek magazine is a five page spread of photos taken by
Fred Maroon during the Nixon years in the White House. They're from a book
being published next month of photos Maroon took at that time, with
unprecedented access to Richard Nixon and his White House, but now being
seen for the first time.

Maroon was interviewed last weekend on NPR's (National Public Radio) All
Things Considered about these photos (I believe they're also on display in
Washington). During the interview, he said that to remain as inconspicuous
and unobtrusive as possible, he used his quietest camera, a Leica M, for
the shots.
