Munch lunch, Italian sausage and hot pickled onions, at the Home Plate Inn out on Tulane Avenue. Some retired cops there say, nah, they're not interested in the game, too much hype, but they've got two cards of a hefty betting pool filled anyway. Head for the big N.F.L. pregame monster rally at the Convention Center. Then on to Pat O'Brien's, where they serve a drink called the Hurricane. Note the immediate lowering of atmospheric pressure.

It may be that too many were celebrity portraits and glamour shots, but the galvanizing news image and the serious photo-essay were never squashed by the sparkle and hype that squeezed them. Magazines in the U.S. and abroad sheltered indispensable projects like Sebastiao Salgado's global survey of work, Alon Reininger's portrait of the age of AIDS and the essays on homelessness by Mary Ellen Mark and Eugene Richards.
