A researcher for a film company needed pictures of people (Nixon, Kissinger, Haldeman, McLaughlin, Liebowitz, Zedong, etc.) as they appeared in 1985 (for casting purposes). Tara showed me a brilliant site – Corbis – that you can search by name, and limit to very specific date ranges. He was thrilled to find pictures of most of the people there, and could save the pictures and easily email them to the casting agent.
