Anachronism

05.13.11 | Comment?

I was reading this article and, beyond being struck by the national shame of the subject matter, was intrigued by my reaction to the photo accompanying the piece.  Doesn’t the guy in the lower left look like he’s on a cell phone call?  Not quite so possible in 1961, and I’m sure his posture indicates a dazed or wounded head.  And yet in a half hour, on my short walk to the bus stop, one in five people that I see, walking or standing or sitting, will have a hand to their head and I won’t need to worry that they’ve just suffered violence.
