Neil Leifer is a renowned sports photojournalist with over 50 years of experience. He is best known for his iconic photograph of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston after knocking him out in 1965. Leifer began his career in 1960 freelancing for major magazines before being hired by Sports Illustrated, then later working for Time magazine. Throughout his career, Leifer covered many major sporting events and athletes, especially boxing matches. He experienced major changes in photographic technology from film cameras to digital but still believes the new technologies help photographers capture better images. Leifer's photograph of Ali vs. Liston came to be considered one of the greatest sports photos ever taken and demonstrates the impact a single photo can have.
Hezbollah was founded in Lebanon in the 1980s by Shiite clerics in response to Israel's invasion of Lebanon. It is based in ideology of spreading Islamic revolution developed by Ayatollah Khomeini of Iran. Hezbollah seeks to end Israel, liberate Jerusalem, and introduce an Islamic government in Lebanon. It has engaged in terrorist activities including bombings that killed hundreds of Americans and Israelis. Hezbollah receives funding and weapons from Iran and generates revenue through criminal activities. Efforts to counter Hezbollah include cutting off funding sources, limiting their global access, and reducing Iranian support.
This document discusses human rights and war victims. It begins by introducing that war and human rights are inherently in conflict, though there are international laws intended to protect rights during wartime. It then defines human rights and describes who can be considered war victims, primarily civilians. The main body examines how various human rights are regularly violated during wartime, such as the rights to life and freedom from torture. It also reviews international laws and organizations working to support war victims' rights.
The IMF was conceived in 1944 and established in 1945 to promote international monetary cooperation and stability. It works to improve the economies of its 189 member countries through surveillance of their economic policies, technical assistance and training, and lending. The IMF monitors global and national economies, provides short-term loans to countries with balance of payments problems, and makes policy recommendations to promote financial stability, employment, trade, and development.
The document discusses the history and evolution of international economic institutions. It describes how the Bretton Woods institutions (IMF, World Bank) were established in 1945 to rebuild the global economy and prevent crises like the Great Depression. These institutions promoted policies like fixed exchange rates and free trade. However, they also faced controversies over their promotion of Washington Consensus reforms. The international economic order has continued transforming with the rise of globalization and new forums like the G20.
اللہ نے تم میں سے ایمان لانے والوں سے وعدہ کیاہے کہ وہ ان کو زمین میں خلیفہ بنا دے گا۔ جس طرح ان سے پہلے لوگوں کو خلیفہ بنا دیا تھا اور جو دین اس نے ان کے لئے پسند کیا ہے وہ ان کے لئے اسے مضبوطی سے قائم کر دے گا اور ان کے خوف کی حالت کے بعد وہ ان کے لئے امن کی حالت تبدیل کر دے گا۔ وہ میری عبادت کریں گے (اور) کسی چیز کو میرا شریک نہیں بنائیں گے اور جو لوگ اس کے بعد بھی انکار کریں گے وہ نافرمانوں میں سے قرار دئے جائیں گے۔
کائنات کے چھوٹے سے ذرّہ ، ایٹم کو لیجئے یا بڑے سے بڑے کسی اور جسم کو، جس کا بھی سینہ چاک کریں وہاں ایک دھڑکتا ہوا دل، ایک مرکز پائیں گے جو اس ذرّہ یا اس جسم کی ہر حرکت اور سکون کا محور ہوگا ۔ اسی طرح عالم صغیر ہو یا عالم کبیر، ہر ایک عالم میں قدرت کا یہی قانون کارفرما نظر آ تا ہے ۔ عالم صغیر یعنی انسان کے تمام اعضاء اور اعصاب اور رگ و ریشے اس کے دل کے ایک ایک اشارہ پر حرکت کرتے ہیں ۔ تو عالم کبیر میں موجود تمام سیارے اور ستارے اپنا ایک مرکز رکھتے ہیں ۔ کچھ سیارے ملکر ایک نظام بناتے ہیں جن کا مرکز ایک سورج ہو تا ہے ۔ اور اسی قسم کے چند نظام ملکر ایک گلیکسی بناتے ہیں اور کائنات میں موجود اس قسم کی بے شمار گلیکسیز ہیں جو ایک بڑا مرکز رکھتی ہیں اور اپنے اپنے محور پر حرکت کررہی ہیں۔
کائنات کے چھوٹے سے چھوٹے ذرہ سے لیکر بڑی سے بڑی گلیکسی تک میں جو یہ وحدت ہے یہ جہاں ہمیں خداتعالیٰ کی توحید کی طرف توجہ دلاتی ہے وہاں اس میں بنی نوع انسان کی معاشرتی زندگی کے لئے ایک شاندار سبق بھی پنہاں ہے کہ دنیا کا کوئی بھی نظام ، کوئی بھی کارو بار مرکزیت کے بغیر نامکمل ہے ، معاشرہ میں مل جل کر رہنے کے لئے ایک نظام کی ضرورت ہے جس میں ایک ایسا مرکز ہونا چاہئے جسے ہرِ فرد اپنے اوپر مسلّط کرے ۔ اسی پر نو ع انسانی کے نظام کی کامیابی کا مدار ہوگا ۔ اسی پر اس کی ترقی کا انحصار ہوگا ۔

The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) was established in 1964 to provide a forum for developing countries to discuss economic development issues. UNCTAD aims to maximize trade, investment, and development opportunities for developing nations. It works on issues like protectionism, commodity and manufacturing trade, aid, and international monetary reform. UNCTAD has 195 member states and 400 staff, and reports to the UN General Assembly and Economic and Social Council. It convenes global conferences every four years.
Globalization refers to the trend toward countries joining together economically, through education, society and politics, and viewing themselves not only through their national identity but also as part of the world as a whole.
Religious conflicts have occurred more frequently in the post-Cold War era for several reasons:
1. Religious differences make conflict more likely and intense, both domestically and internationally. Countries with more religious diversity tend to have more violent conflicts.
2. Religion shapes discrimination against ethnic and religious minorities, especially in autocratic states where religion plays a role in politics.
3. Regimes in Muslim-majority states tend to be more autocratic, restricting civil and political liberties, which can exacerbate tensions.
4. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-running example where religious issues are intertwined with national, territorial, and economic issues.
International trade is the exchange of capital, goods, and services across international borders or territories.
international trade has existed throughout history (for example Uttarapatha, Silk Road, Amber Road, salt roads), its economic, social, and political importance has been on the rise in recent centuries.
To understand the pattern in international trade, Different trade theories are postulated. Some famous trade theories are:
Mercantilism
Absolute Advantage Theory
Comparative Advantage Theory
Hecksher-Ohlin Factor endowment theory
Product Life Cycle Theory
New Trade Theory
Porter’s Diamond Theory for competitive advantage
Restrictions on imports – tariff barriers, quotas or non-tariff barriers.
Accumulation of foreign currency reserves and gold and silver reserves. (known also as bullionism)
Granting of state monopolies to particular firms especially those associated with trade and shipping.
Subsidies of export industries to give competitive advantage in global markets.
Government investment in research and development to maximize efficiency and capacity of domestic industry.
Allowing copyright / intellectual theft from foreign companies.
Limiting wages and consumption of the working classes to enable greater profits to stay with the merchant class.
Control of colonies, e.g. making colonies buy from Empire country and taking control of colonies wealth.
England Navigation Act of 1651 prohibited foreign vessels engaging in coastal trade.
All colonial exports to Europe had to pass through English first and be re-exported to Europe.
Under British Empire, India restricted in buying from domestic industries and were forced to import salt from the UK. Protests against this salt tax, led to ‘Salt tax’ revolt led by Gandhi.
In seventeenth Century France, the state promoted a controlled economy, with strict regulations about the economy and labour markets
In the modern world, mercantilism is sometimes associated with policies, such as.
Undervaluation of currency e.g. government buying foreign currency assets to keep the exchange rate undervalued and make exports more competitive.
Government subsidy of industry for unfair advantage. China has been accused of offering too much subsidised investment for industry, leading to over supply of industries such as steel – meaning other countries struggle to compete.
Surge of protectionist sentiment, e.g. tariffs on imports.
Copyright theft
There were three main phases of globalization in history:
1) From 1492 to around 1800, which saw exploration and the establishment of colonies as European powers sought to expand their influence and gain resources.
2) From 1800 to 1940, characterized by the expansion of international trade and the growth of multinational companies, though this period ended with the outbreak of World War 1 and 2.
3) From 1950 onwards, led by the establishment of institutions like the IMF, World Bank, and GATT/WTO to promote free trade and economic cooperation in the postwar period and reduce barriers to international commerce.
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness between countries through trade, foreign investment, and information flow. It has led to changes like food being available year-round from around the world and manufacturing moving to lower cost countries. However, it has also resulted in less job security as work becomes more temporary, and increased environmental damage from greater transportation needs. Both benefits, like increased free trade and information sharing, and disadvantages, like threats to local cultures and job stability, have emerged from globalization integrating national economies.
The document provides an overview of Chinese law. It discusses that Chinese law has evolved from Confucian and Legalist traditions to incorporating German civil law and Soviet socialist law. It is currently based on the Constitution but the Communist Party maintains discretion. Laws are organized in a hierarchy with the Constitution at the top. Major areas include administrative, criminal, civil and economic law. The court system has four levels with the Supreme People's Court as the highest court.
Jihad has multiple meanings in Islam including striving to achieve a goal or using one's resources to please God. There are two types of jihad - the greater jihad which is overcoming one's desires and the lesser jihad which is actions taken for God. Jihad aims to purify oneself, attain true humanity, and achieve peace. War in Islam is only permissible for self-defense or when freedom of religion is oppressed. Terrorism and killing innocent people are strictly forbidden in Islam.
Conflict can be internal or external and refers to opposition of needs, values, and interests. It explains aspects of social life like disagreement and fights between individuals, groups, or organizations. In political terms, conflict can refer to wars, revolutions, or other struggles that may involve force. The main types of conflict discussed are personal conflict, nation to nation conflict, and conflicts over ideas, interests, and economics. Realist and radical international relations theories are also mentioned.
The World Bank is an internationally supported bank that provides financial and technical assistance to developing countries for programs to reduce poverty such as infrastructure projects. It is governed by a board of executive directors representing member countries. The United States has veto power due to its large financial contributions. The World Bank funds projects in various sectors and faces criticism for promoting Western interests. The IMF was created in 1944 to stabilize exchange rates and assist in reconstructing international payments after World War II. It is governed by a board and managing director. The IMF aims to facilitate global monetary cooperation and secure financial stability.
The document discusses the need for unity among Muslims and provides reasons why unity has been lacking. It outlines Quranic injunctions calling for unity and notes the current divisions among Muslims along religious, political, economic, social, tribal, ethnic, and linguistic lines. The causes of divisions are listed as transgression, selfishness, hypocrisy, greed, arrogance, jealousy, envy, and prejudice. The document proposes focusing on the fundamentals of Islam, developing tolerance for diversity, and observing Islamic etiquettes to help bring Muslims closer together. It envisions an ideal unity under one global Muslim community and Khalifa, and suggests practical steps current organizations can take to promote greater unity.
The document provides an overview of major international economic institutions including the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), World Trade Organization (WTO), International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank, South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA), Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and South-South Cooperation. It discusses the origins, objectives, and roles of each institution in facilitating international trade and economic cooperation between countries.
Globalization refers to increasing economic, political, and social integration between countries through communication, trade, and cultural exchange. Some advantages of globalization include enabling online communication between people across borders, understanding other cultures, and allowing businesses to launch products worldwide. However, globalization can also widen gaps between rich and poor nations, increase unemployment as jobs move to lower-wage countries, and cause cultural misunderstandings as dominant cultures overshadow others. It may also facilitate large-scale illegal activities across international borders.
International marketing refers to marketing activities that cross national borders. It involves identifying foreign markets, selecting market entry strategies, and developing marketing mixes tailored to compete abroad. The main approaches are exporting, joint ventures, and foreign direct investment like assembly or manufacturing plants. Effective international marketing requires understanding differences in cultures, laws, and economies between countries while maintaining a consistent global brand. It presents new opportunities but also challenges of adapting to varied international consumer behaviors and business environments.
Direct exporting entry strategies - corporate management - Strategic Manage...manumelwin
In direct exporting, the firm becomes directly involved in marketing its products in foreign markets, because the firm itself performs the export task (rather than delegating it to others).
This document discusses the process of selecting the right international market for a company. It involves conducting global market research on the foreign market's micro-environment including factors like market potential, size, growth, competition, and access. The research also examines the buyer or decision-making units in that market. Key economic, political, and legal forces affecting different regions and countries are also screened. The process then narrows down to screening specific markets before selecting one international market based on this research and analysis.
Globalization has allowed terrorism to exist on a global level due to increased technology and interconnectivity. While there is no agreed-upon definition, terrorism generally involves the use or threat of violence against civilians to achieve political goals. Globalization has aided terrorism through expanded air travel, televised news coverage, and access to more dangerous weapons. It has also contributed to cultural, economic, and religious explanations for terrorism. Technologies associated with globalization have improved terrorists' abilities to coordinate attacks, maintain security, gain mobility, and conduct more lethal operations. International efforts aim to curb terrorism through collaboration, but challenges remain around identification, bureaucratic defects, and addressing radicalizing messages.
This document discusses various aspects of economic globalization including:
- The definition and drivers of globalization including international trade, investment, and information technology.
- The role of institutions like the IMF, World Bank, WTO, OECD in establishing rules and frameworks to facilitate global economic cooperation and expansion.
- The debate around protectionism versus free trade and how nations approach economic integration.
- Both the potential advantages of economic globalization like increased trade, growth, and standards of living as well as disadvantages such as impacts on small businesses, global warming, and worker exploitation.
The Syrian Civil War began in 2011 with anti-government protests against President Bashar al-Assad before escalating into a full-scale civil war. Over 450,000 Syrians have been killed and more than 11 million displaced as forces loyal to Assad battle opposition groups. The war involves four overlapping conflicts between Assad and opposition forces, Syria's Kurdish minority, the Islamic State, and foreign countries intervening to support various factions. Six years after protests began, the war continues with no end in sight as the humanitarian crisis worsens.

Mozambique local content legal framework leopoldo de amaral - moz gas summi...Leopoldo Amaral
Mozambique has established a legal framework to promote local content in the oil and gas sector through various strategies, laws, and regulations. The framework aims to increase employment and training of Mozambicans, procurement of local goods and services, participation of national investors, and utilization of oil and gas resources to develop domestic industries. While current local content requirements are light, a draft Local Content Bill seeks to strengthen obligations by defining rules for incorporating local resources and means of production into contracts. The government's goal is to industrialize the country and develop local markets using oil and gas resources.

4. Neil Leifer is a well-known, award winning photojournalist. According
to Leifer's biography on his personal website, Leifer has been in the profession
for some 50-plus years now. His bio states that "beginning in 1960, his pictures
regularly appeared in every major national magazine, including the Saturday
Evening Post, Look, LIFE, Newsweek, Time and, most often, Sports
Illustrated." After all those years freelancing when his work appeared all over
the place, "Leifer eventually became a staff photographer for Sports Illustrated
before leaving in 1978 to become a staffer for Time magazine. In 1988 he was
made a contributing photographer at LIFE magazine and spent the next two
years dividing his time between Time and LIFE."
His bio proudly states that as of 1990 when he left Time Inc., Leifer's work
had been seen in "over 200 Sports Illustrated, Time, and People covers" setting
a record within the company for the most published works for a single
photographer. He's known for many examples of compelling sports
photojournalism, especially focusing on boxing. Nowadays, according to his
bio, Leifer spends his time as a filmmaker, producer and director.
Career Path
5. As I mentioned, Leifer’s biography states his career in
photojournalism started in 1960 when his work began
appearing in major magazines. So, Lefier has seen changes to
the profession since his days as a young photojournalist
when he began in 1960 – 56 years ago. The field of
photojournalism has certainly evolved in the nearly 60 years
Lefier has spent behind the lens. There of course were the
days of shooting film and Single Lens Reflexes, then came
digital cameras, the internet, and so on. So as for the
profession, Leifer has dealt with changing technology and
added pressure as the news cycle became more constant
thanks to the internet and changing technologies.
Era
6. It’s clear that one of Leifer’s motivations would be sports. A quick Google search of his
name brings up many different sports-related photos. In an interview with David Katz of The
PostGame, he “lived and breathed the Dodgers, and that was during a period of time where
the Dodgers would manage to lose the World Series every year to the Yankees.” But sports
weren’t always his top interest. In a 2002 interview with Larry Berman and Chris Maher
(bermangraphics.com), Leifer, who originally wanted to be a Navy pilot, stated: “I wasn’t
immediately attracted to photographing sports. I was more interested in photographing
Navy ships and Air Force and Navy planes. I used to cut school to photograph aircraft carriers
and battleships coming in and out of the Brooklyn Navy Yard which was across the East River
from where I lived... I took the subway and a bus out to Floyd Bennett Field which was out to
the boondocks of Brooklyn to photograph Navy planes from the highway, as they’d come in
and out for landings and takeoffs. That was my first real passion.”
Later on, Leifer said he realized, “ I really enjoyed taking pictures and Ioved seeing my
name on the credit line when they were published. As a kid I didn’t have any money and it
seemed an easy way to get into a sporting event was with a credential. The problem was that
I was fifteen years old and I didn’t have any credentials.” Eventually, Leifer would earn his
credentials an become a renowned photographer at Sports Illustrated, where he was
described in this longform piece as ”the undisputed champ of boxing photography, Leifer has
delivered some of the sport’s most iconic and memorable images in Sports Illustrated’s 60-
year history.”
Motivation
7. Leifer used different cameras depending on the time period in which
he was working. For example, according to Mark Edward Harris of
Digital Photo Pro, on his first “assignment” – in which Leifer snuck into
Yankee Stadium without credentials to cover the 1958 NFL
Championship – he used “a Yashica Mat camera, what he calls ‘a poor
man’s Rolleiflex.’” According to Dave Mondy of Slate, in Leifer’s most
memorable image – Muhammed Ali standing over Sonny Liston after
their famous fight in 1965 – Leifer used a legit Rolleiflex camera, which
according to photo editor David Schonauer, “it’s partly the color and
clarity of Leifer’s Ektachrome” which helped make this one of the most
famous sports photos of all time. In the 2002 interview with Berman and
Maher, he talked about using a 400mm Kilfitt, a Nikon 300, and said that
“in terms of shooting night football and night sports, probably the best
lens that’s ever been made is the 300mm f2.8.” made by Topcon and
Nikon.
Technology
8. Leifer also mentioned in the 2002 interview that he often times used remote
cameras, positioning the camera somewhere and shooting remotely. “The
remote cameras that I used in so many sports pictures, whether it’s under the
rail of the Kentucky Derby, over the ring at a boxing match, or just as an extra
camera to get the double play at second base,” Leifer said, adding “over the
years, some of my best photos were ones taken by remote.” When
Berman/Maher said to Leifer that today we expect cameras to be auto focus
and exposure, Leifer replied “they didn’t have anything auto then.” Shows how
far we’ve come technologically. Leifer is not a huge fan of the changing
technologies, as he calls himself “a computer illiterate.” But in a piece for the
website Still No Cheering in the Press Box, Leifer writes: “I think the cameras are
fantastic. The cameras today are so much better. The lenses are better; they’re
lighter, they’re faster, they’re sharper. The whole digital thing is a good thing
for photography.” And in his interview with Katz, he says, “I grew up putting
film in the camera, but I'm not one of those old-fashioned guys. I'll start by
telling you there is no question that digital cameras and the whole system
today is so superior to the ones we worked with.”
Technology, ctd.
9. Naturally, many of us have our favorite sports teams and athletes.
While some may be more casual fans as opposed to the diehards, in the
end, we all tend to have a team that we usually root for. Some sports
fans become attached to their heroes on the field while they’re growing
up. Leifer kind of alludes to this when he writes about Sports Illustrated
and the champ, Muhammed Ali, on Still No Cheering in the Press Box: “I
was lucky enough to be working at Sports Illustrated with, in my
opinion, the best athlete and certainly a guy who loved the camera
…My career pretty much paralleled Muhammad Ali’s career as a
successful, great heavyweight champion. You couldn’t have a better
subject … I was a boxing fan before Muhammad came along. My dad
was a fight fan and I used to watch Friday night fights with him as a kid
on television … Covering it, and being around a character like Ali, it was
easy to fall in love with photographing boxing.
Ethics
10. While he may have been favorable to Ali and developed a connection
with the boxer in his time covering him, on the other hand, Leifer said
he never really met or interacted with many of his other subjects:
“As a young photographer, other than the times that I shot in the
studio, I probably did 75, maybe even 100 covers for Sports Illustrated
on subjects that I never so much as shook hands with. When you go to
a game, you photograph the game. The hero of the game runs on the
cover of the magazine. So except when they came into the studio to
pose for a posed cover, I really didn’t meet them. Quite frankly, I can
count on one hand the number of subjects that I’ve so much as had a
cup of coffee with outside of the shoot.”
It’s understandable that the photojournalist may have had a soft
spot for Ali, one of the most prominent athletes and social activists of
the era, but overall, I would say that Leifer seems to understand his role
from an ethics perspective.
Ethics, ctd.
11. Leifer said that his career paralleled Muhammed Ali’s
career, so in a way Ali is synonymous with Leifer’s work,
considering Leifer’s most famous image he has ever taken is
the Ali-Liston shot. Leifer speaks highly of Ali – in that last
slide I quoted him saying that he was a boxing fan, that Ali
was a wonderful character, and said that you couldn’t have a
better subject than Ali.
Bias
12. This photo shows Ali
standing with Leifer and the
famous photo. It’s clear that
Leifer and Ali got along pretty
well, and perhaps Leifer may
have been a little biased in
favor of Ali. I suppose covering
athletes is a lot different than
covering the President, though.
Bias, ctd.

relentless-sports-photographer-explains-how-he-got-his-
shots
13. In researching Leifer, you don’t find much in terms of
Leifer talking about his specific techniques when it came to
shooting. While Dave Mondy of Slate says that “Leifer was
known for excessive preparations,” Leifer insists in several
interviews that “there's a whole lot of luck in sports
photography,” and that “luck in sports photography is
everything and what separates the really top sports
photographer from the ordinary is that when he or she gets
lucky, they don't miss. That is the key.”

This image by Leifer was taken during the 1958 NFL Championship at Yankee Stadium when
Leifer was still a young 18 year-old playing around with photography. The image uses black
and white but it’s not overly dark so it doesn’t ruin the image. He has the background partly
in focus showing Yankee Stadium’s famous façade, as well as the stadium lights which like
his Ali photo also illuminate the subject. He uses an obvious main subject, which is the
group of players and this play, which was actually the winning touchdown for the
Baltimore Colts over the New York Giants.

This is also from the Ali/Liston
fight. Like Leifer mentioned in
the technology slides, this uses
a remote camera. It shows
Leifer’s creativity in going that
extra mile to gain a different
perspective while many of his
peers likely just used the
camera they had in their hands
near the ring. The fish eye lens
also provides a unique
perspective of the ring and the
crowd sitting around it.

This Leifer image shows “Dr. J”
Julius Erving of the Philadelphia
76ers going up for a dunk. Leifer
used freeze motion to capture
the action. His quick shutter
speed froze the image and
created a sharp shot of Erving.
You can see his subject’s
expression, pure focus as he
goes up and finishes. Erving is
his obvious main subject as the
background does not distract
you.
18. Leifer is an acclaimed, award-winning photojournalist who has
covered everything from Super Bowls to World Series, from the
Olympics to Muhammed Ali. In an NPR All Things Considered
interview, he was asked about how the famous Ali-Liston photo
has taken on more meaning and significance over time. In his
response, Leifer said that “at the end of the century people were
calling the greatest sports photo of the century,” despite the fact
that it strangely didn’t even make the cover of SI at the time. “I
think it really grew as Ali’s legend grew,” Leifer said. Anyways, it
shows the impact a photojournalist can have when many are
regarding one of your pictures as one of the greatest pictures
within your field or the subject you cover.
Impact
19. I am a Communication major at AIC, and within my major
there are several different career paths you can follow, such
as journalism, new media, photography, video, etc. I know
some of my friends who are Communication majors have
spent a lot of time taking photos at AIC sporting events as it
is something that interests them, like Leifer. Personally, like
Leifer, I am interested in journalism, and also I know a little
bit about photography. While I’m not a skilled
photojournalist like Neil Leifer, I would love to have his
talent and considering he spent many years covering sports –
a topic I love – I would say that’s a pretty cool career path to
follow.
Major at AIC
20. Leifer has been viewed positively by many observers.
So much so that his Ali-Liston photo was widely
considered one of the greatest sports photos of the
century, as well as his awards and accomplishments. His
bio states that he “is the 2006 recipient of the
prestigious Lucie Award for Achievement in Sports
Photography,” and “in 2008 he was honored for his
outstanding contribution to Time Inc. journalism with
The Britton Hadden Lifetime Achievement Award.”
Clearly, Leifer has been viewed positively for his hard
work and dedication to his profession.
