If the photograph gives off a rich variety of visual clues and stimuli, the other senses work all the harder. Each takes the viewer back to the moment and into the place where the picture was taken. The Newseum's space for a show like this is inadequate, and this exhibition has a slapdash character that is frustrating. The photo captions, all written in an archly urgent present tense, are off-putting. But the quibbles are just quibbles.
