(can you believe I was the only person in a meeting of 8 literate, bookish, educated people who knew who Seymour Hersch is?)
Maybe they confused him with Seymour Hersh?
disclaimer: I had no idea who the guy was until I googled. But I don't describe myself as bookish, so I'm okay.
I was thinking the photos didn't do the glare justice.
Not so much. Awfully shiny. He said he went to PS 70-something in the Bronx, but got lucky and got spotted by some talent scouts that DeNiro sent in. Dropped out of school at 5th grade and did the biz and homeschooling thing. Also, computer nerd. Lots of people were taking photos and getting autographs post-Q&A, so undoubtedly more photos will show up on the interwebs soon.

How lucky does Frank Capra IV really have to get? Is PS 70 inner city?

Let me rephrase. In the context of discussing the source and possible permissioned use of Abu Ghraib prison photos, can you believe...? (Hersh is the guy who broke that story in the New Yorker, and on 60 minutes.)
Well, Capra III isn't like a mogul or anything. But I still wouldn't put it past him being from Riverdale, the fancy part of the Bronx, but still using "Bronx public school" as code for "street."

Doesn't seem too bad for an NYC school.
But it's in my neighborhood in Queens.
