I looked at a few other images: Photos of Brooke Shields, nude at age 10;dead American serviceman dragged through the streets in Somolia;paparazzi photo of some guy kissing the toe of the Duchess of York on a topless beach, so forth and so on. I'm not all holy, but based on a brief look I question the iconic photo label (except, of course, for Dr. Grant's image and that fortunately is a crappy reproduction unlikely to be re-used).
