You make a good point except this shot was submitted and accepted right away 
because no other photog had a shot of the event left in their (digital) 
archives. He had his assistants went back through thousands of slides to find 
a shot, any shot of her once Lewinsky was identified.

Still, I get your point. I said that I didn't believe this issue was an 
indictment of digital per se, it was just one example that makes one wonder 
about how this medium will affect photography as communication. I admit that 
no one is yet sure, least of all me.
