The ultimate hypocrisy of this issue is that at the same time they got rid of the photo department at Life. Tom Bentkowsky is gone, many others who made the magazine what it is. It's a sad day in photojournalism when Life gets rid of the photo department and puts the "design" department in charge. And states they are becoming more "entertainment oriented." I knew Warner Brothers would ruin LIFE to help boost their movies. Eisie is spinning in his grave, no doubt. ========= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO Police tagline. Do not cross.
