Boys and Girls From Brazil DAVID FRUM - NRO I thought when I saw the cover that the kids on it must be really pissed about the image. Here it is, for those of you who missed it. nytimes.com; David Brooks has observed that there must be some central directive at the New York Times that any feature story about conservatives must depict them as weird and grim. If so, the photographer who snapped the picture on the cover of this Sunday's Times magazine deserves a special bonus. To illustrate an article about young conservatives at Bucknell University, he posed six of the students in six identical t-shirts with President Bush's image on them, ordered them to jam their hands in the pockets of their jeans, kneeled down to capture them at a looming and sinister angle, and then snapped the shutter at an instant when all of them looked blank and unsmiling. The total effect: six otherwise perfectly nice-looking young people each with his or her own distinct personality were made to look like sinister clones, vaguely reminiscent of the young Hitlers in The Boys From Brazil. nationalreview.com
