Most curators hope to get glowing reviews and popular acclaim when they mount an exhibit. Michael Kamber, on the other hand, is expecting some blowback for his latest show, “Altered Images: 150 Years of Posed and Manipulated Documentary Photography,” which opens this weekend at the Bronx Documentary Center. And he’s perfectly O.K. with that. “I think there will be some unhappy people,” said Mr. Kamber, a photojournalist and founder of the center. “That’s good. If people would stop faking photos, then they wouldn’t have to be worried about being called out.”

The Maine independent said the prostate cancer was detected early, as was skin cancer some 40 years ago from which he fully recovered. [...] “Let’s face it; cancer is a scary word to hear. So it might seem unusual to say this, but today, I actually feel pretty fortunate. The fact is, millions of Americans bravely and quietly fight more aggressive cancers than mine every day. Many of them do so in the face of great financial hardship and without the support of their friends and family,” King said. “I cannot imagine the strength it must take to carry on against that kind of adversity.”

A man who flew a gyrocopter through some of America's most restricted airspace before landing at the U.S. Capitol says he's rejected a plea offer in the case that would have involved several years in prison. Douglas Hughes attended a status hearing Monday in federal court in Washington. He said in a telephone interview before the hearing that he had rejected an offer that included significant jail time because it didn't seem just for an act of civil disobedience in which no one got hurt. Hughes has said his April 15 flight in the bare-bones aircraft was intended to call attention to the influence of big money in politics.

“What many women would do before is drive here and maybe stay with a friend, or maybe they could afford a hotel for one night, and then have the procedure the next day,” McNicholas says. “Well that’s really no longer feasible, because they can’t take four days off work and they don’t have the money to pay for three nights of hotels.” As more states pass longer waiting periods and require multiple clinic visits, similar calculations are being made by women across the US.
