Other contributors to this collage include New York Times reporter Richard Bernstein, novelist Susan Shreve, New Yorker staffer Mary Kierstead and Michael Malone, whose books include Time's Witness . Smith's 75 tritone photos have a rich, atmospheric quality. But then again so does the subject. As hat designer Patricia Underwood notes here, "one cannot be neutral in the presence of a hat."
