Given the timing and the imagery, it's likely that Gibson's illustration was a commentary on the United States' neutral stance during World War I, which broke out in Europe in July 1914. The quarreling couple could symbolize the conflicting pressures and opinions within the U.S., while the dog in the middle represents the attempt to remain neutral amidst these tensions.
The United States had tried to remain neutral, but several factors led to its entry in 1917: Germany began attacking American ships and the British shared an intercepted telegram that revealed Germany’s promise to Mexico of American territory if the U.S. entered the war. Also, the Russian Provisional Government’s pro-war stance helped overcome President Woodrow Wilson’s reluctance to fight alongside an absolutist monarch. So, on April 6, 1917, President Wilson signed a joint resolution declaring war on the German Empire.
Wilson believed that the U.S. could shape the peace settlement and play a decisive role in the postwar peace conference. His plan was outlined in the "Fourteen Points" and envisioned a new collective security organization called the League of Nations.

Launch advertising for the lavish series of photography books from Time-Life Books. Trading on the reputation of LIFE magazine as the premier US publication for news and editorial photos, this series of books promised to be the definitive word on photography practice.
Bound in distinctive silver covers, and (in early press runs) using quality gravure photo reproduction, the core titles Light and Film and The Camera were highly influential in photography instruction. Part of their power in illustrating any concept was the ability to draw on LIFE's deep back-catalog of historical imagery to give inspiring examples. Evidently the series reached 17 volumes, although the books on general principles reached many more people than some of the niche topics.
New editions were in print into the 1980s, outliving LIFE magazine itself by a decade.

From the mid-1950s to the early 70s, Al Shirawi held a number of important official positions and subsequently became Bahrain's first post-independence Minister for Development and Industry, a post he held until his retirement in the mid-1990s circa 1952.

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”
