OLD AND BUSTED: Ernie Pyle reporting from the front lines of the war.
The New Hotness? Annie Leibovitz shooting glamorous cover stories of the war! In Case You Weren’t Convinced Volodymyr Zelensky Is Serious, Vogue Is Here To Tell You. “I don’t blame the Zelenskys for wanting to draw attention to their struggle.
