Dave - There are invasions of privacy, and then there are invasions of 
privacy. Faces is not a book of 'street' photos of HCB - it is a book of 
atrocious snaps by a supposed friend who only had the opportunity to 
take the photos because of his special access. On those terms, it is a 
gross invasion of privacy, trust, etc. Should it have been published? 
Sure, if a tasteless publisher wanted to bring it out. But it is still 
an invasion of privacy.
