1956 and 1984 Democratic National Conventions and to Eggleston's
1976 journey "Election Eve." Her shots of Navy honor guardsmen and
campaign operatives recall the immigrant Frank's almost
anthropological fascination with American democracy's secret
players, its disciplined functionaries, and the beseeching and
indifferent masses.
