+++++++++ I completely agree with those who object to the printing of the picture of the frozen corpse of the man from the Franklin expedition. It was bad enough to be confronted with it in the Boston Globe; then I read Newsweek, and there he was again, glossy and in 'livid' color! It is true that the remains of Franklin's men are of scientific interest, but the story would have been just as well told without pictures. If the corpses were "almost perfectly preserved", the writer's word is good enough for me; I don't need to see the evidence!
