Question 723: These guys kill a lot of our people, and I think Buddha will forgive me
Adams watched as two soldiers pulled a prisoner out of a doorway at the end of the street. The soldiers then pushed and pulled what appeared to be a ___Y___in a plaid shirt, his arms tied behind his back. They escorted the man toward the spot where Adams and Vo Su were located.
"Eddie Adams said, 'I just followed the three of them as they walked towards us, making an occasional picture. When they were close - maybe five feet away - the soldiers stopped and backed away. I saw a man walk into my camera viewfinder from the left. He took a pistol out of his holster and raised it. I had no idea he would shoot. It was common to hold a pistol to the head of prisoners during questioning. So I prepared to make that picture - the threat, the interrogation. But it didn't happen. The man just pulled a pistol out of his holster, raised it to the ___Y___'s head and shot him in the temple. I made a picture at the same time.' "The prisoner fell to the pavement, blood gushing," Buell, quoting Eddie. "After a few more pictures of the dead man, Adams left.
THis picture went on to define the war __X__ and was voted as Life's 100 pictures that defined the 21st century.

Question 722: Couldn't keep this doc away
Description of the painting by the artist __X__
ID the painting and the painter.
At least it hides the face partly. Well, so you have the apparent face, the apple, hiding the visible but hidden, the face of the person. It's something that happens constantly. Everything we see hides another thing, we always want to see what is hidden by what we see. There is an interest in that which is hidden and which the visible does not show us. This interest can take the form of a quite intense feeling, a sort of conflict, one might say, between the visible that is hidden and the visible that is presentMade famous by the movie "The Thomas Crown Affair", this painting has been extensively parodied by apple maniacs.
ID the painting and the painter.

Question 720: Yawn...
A delightful children's book for adults (what the deuce?), __X__ was written after a night of abject frustration on the author's with his kids. So he posted on facebook what he never had the gall to tell them (parenting has evolved), this lead him to compose this merry nursery rhyme which went viral and now has Samuel L Jackson singing it to all kids (lets see them sleep after that)
The cats nestle close to their kittens now.
The lambs have laid down with the sheep.
You’re cozy and warm in your bed, my dear
