Is the photo worth a thousand words?

Is the photo worth a thousand words?

Okay, I’ve received several emails on this. Apparently, Time magazine had a photo in its June 21, 2004 issue (p. 34) that shows John Kerry receiving Communion. According to the group Tradition in Action, the photo shows Kerry receiving a “bleeding” Host, which they conclude depicts a baby enveloped in a bloody white cloth. (To me it looks like a red blob and an indistinct white blob.) I’ve attempted to find the original photo, but according to the Time web site archives, there was nothing in the June 21 issue about Kerry and the Communion issue. If someone actually subscribes to Time and still has a copy of this issue, could they look at it an tell me what they see? What do you think it is? I have to admit, I’m more than a little skeptical.
