Toni Frissell was an American photographer known for her work as a war correspondent and photographer of notable figures during World War II and the Cold War. Born in 1907 in New York City, she worked for various publications including Sports Illustrated.

The photograph is one of a series taken by Toni Frissell on assignment to Sports Illustrated to capture sightseeing opportunities in Hong Kong. The location was chosen for its unique blend of East and West, making it an attractive subject for a travel photo essay.

The collection consists of 31 prints from this assignment, which were then divided into two groups: "Choice" and "Selects".

You always spy on your allies more than your enemies. Your enemies just want your destruction, but your allies get in your way.

.> I don’t mean to equate a Vietnamese villager to Vaclav Havel. For one thing, I doubt that the former would have had the supreme hypocrisy and audacity to clothe his praise for the defenders of freedom with gushing about responsibility for the human race. It’s also unnecessary to point out to the half a dozen or so sane people who remain that in comparison to the conditions imposed by US tyranny and violence, East Europe under Russian rule was practically a paradise. Furthermore, one can easily understand why an oppressed Third World victim would have little access to any information (or would care little about anything) beyond the narrow struggle for survival against a terrorist superpower and its clients. And the Pravda hack, unlike his US clones, would have faced a harsh response if he told the obvious truths. So by every conceivable standard, the performance of Havel, Congress, the media, and (we may safely predict, without what will soon appear) the Western intellectual community at large are on a moral and intellectual level that is vastly below that of Third World peasants and Stalinist hacks — not an unusual discovery.
