Thinking that Magnum is MAGNUM today is not unlike thinking that the last 
iteration of Life Magazine was still the Life so many of us grew up on. Of 
course thinking that that Life was all Eugene Smith and Country Doctor is 
similarly delusional. :-y

You're so very correct Michiel. I'd also suggest that some may laud  
Magnum from memory rather than from what is current.

Just for kicks -

go to <http://www.magnumphotos.com>
search "drugs"
spend some time looking through the thumbs pages (curser over photo  
will reveal photographer, etc.)
then check out some of the specific photographer's work.

especially have a look at:
