...Chaotic Delay. In January 1973, there were 26,682 CB license applications; in January 1975, 79,375; in January 1976, 544,742. At Gettysburg, Pa., where the FCC processes the applications, conditions have been hardly less chaotic than they were in July 1863.

The mother, child and doll are incongruous in size, expression, and surface texture. They are also rather desperately poor. Another photograph of these subjects could have been chaotic or shocking or both; Shahn's is tied together formally by intricate series of triangular rhythms and rescued from pathos by the contentment of the child and the alert concern of its mother...
