RE: [Leica] TWO AMAZING PHOTOS -Last comment from B.D.

[Paul Chefurka <Paul_Chefurka@pmc-sierra.com>]

From a couple of the posts here, it sounds as though people are talking
about two different Palestinian shots.  The one I saw on the web image of
the front page was of three armed soldiers dressed in fatigues, being caught
under fire.  It sounds like the shot Peter and at least one other person are
referring to is the one of the father shielding his young son just before
they were gunned down by Israeli troops.

Given that you saw this in the hard-copy paper, and I saw what amounts to a
scan of the front page, does this mean the NYT puts out more than one
edition on a given day, with different photos?

Inquiring minds, etc.
