    The young woman emerging from a cave during WWII has a baby on her back. I almost didn’t see it.
     
    I love the Harley Davidson picture.
     
    I wonder if Muhammad Ali managed to talk down the suicidal man?
     
    The pre-Taliban days in Afghanistan image speaks volumes and makes me so sad for what the people, especially the women, have lost.
