Oct. 5, 1938: “Monsters of the air,” the published caption read. The British Air Ministry gave The New York Times some of the first photographs of the Air Force balloon barrage at Cardington, England, the home of the No. 1 Balloon Training Unit. Several hundred balloons were delivered to the Royal Air Force to be used for air defense in and around London. See more photos on the Lens blog. Photo: The New York Times

May 12, 1940: “The new swimming pool quickly proves its popularity among the members,” said the published caption showing the Madison Square Boys Club on East 30th Street in Manhattan. The photo was published by itself in the “Mid-Week Pictorial.” But an article a week earlier introduced the new club, built with a $400,000 donation. “Business leaders, wealthy financiers and other well-placed men apparently have a very soft spot in their hearts for street urchins,” it said.

Aug. 13, 1969: “Data processing cards joined ticker tape in paper blizzard,” read the caption on this photograph, which was published the day after the three Apollo 11 astronauts paraded through New York. The Sanitation Department cleaned up 300 tons of paper the following day. Mayor John V. Lindsay had urged employers to give their workers time to watch the motorcade. The city’s public events commissioner said the turnout was “the biggest ever in the history of New York.” Another article quoted an 8-year-old from Connecticut. “There’s a lot of confetti down there,” he said, “but I don’t see any astronauts.” Photo: Jack Manning/The New York Times

At 9, he settled a dispute with a pistol. At 13, he lit out for the Amazon jungle. At 20, he attempted suicide-by-jaguar. Afterward he was apprenticed to a pirate. To please his mother, who did not take kindly to his being a pirate, he briefly managed a mink farm, one of the few truly dull entries on his otherwise crackling résumé, which lately included a career as a professional gambler.

His story seemed to weave unconsciously through the political and linguistic minefields that had kept me up until midnight the night before, but that was the least of it: his narrative sang. It made you feel the drama of Hezbollah’s decades-long struggle with Israel, and the sorrow it had inflicted on both sides of the Lebanese border. I read that story again and again, relishing it the way I would a poem by Herbert or Donne. Not because I thought I could copy his style, but because it contained a challenge. It made my world larger.
