The passage of time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

John Lennon was killed forty years ago today, at age forty.

The photograph on the above Newsweek cover was by Richard Avedon.  It was originally part of a larger picture Mr. Avedon took of the Beatles, in 1967.  

As is apparent, the copy of Newsweek, which I have had since 1980, is torn (I don't recall when this happened), and the cover became separated from the rest of the issue.
