Quotes
On Charles Ommanney, Newsweek photographer for the White House: To be a photojournalist at the highest levels like that requires a great deal of innate political skill. You have to at once make people so comfortable with you that, at hours of great tension and great trial, they let you into the room. Then, once you have talked your way into the room, you have to disappear. It's a very tricky skill set, Charles has it.
