Why? Because he's a socialist? A former World Coffee Fund executive who's
dedicated himself to serving the world's workers and the poor? That he
travels fourth and fifth class?  That he thinks he can change the world in
some small way? 

The fact that he takes care of his downs syndrome son in Paris makes me
think he's one of the more positive characters in the globe-trotting
photojournalism world if you ask me.

representation of man's belief in humanity, his need for individual dignity,
his belief in the cooperation of men, and through this cooperation his
ability to find greatness."
