I'm not sure why one would post the above on the "LEICA USERS GROUP." 
Should have just pointed to the Leica photos and been done with it!

But FWIW, you cannot misquote Gore. He misquoted himself so often neither 
he, nor anyone else, ever knew what he actually said.

Now if Bruno Magli had been running... maybe people would have paid a 
little more attention.

Now, about the photographs. Gore's shirt is pretty burned out. Makes it 
difficult to see anything else. Like a search light hitting you in the face.

And the other... good shot, good exposure, but too much hotel hallway 
behind them. Should have moved in or cropped the result.

IMHO,
