Spot news, general news, people in the news, both single photos and stories, 
are all heavily dominated by (but not exclusively) either man's inhumanity 
to man or by the earthquake in eastern Sichuan (which was also a disaster of 
human origin in the inadequate construction of buildings).  Only in the 
sports categories were the blood & guts photos the minority.
