It should be called 'Original Jerk', but then that's just my opinion (based on a conversation I was privy to - via speaker phone- he had with my then boss).

Well... I'm not one to say. But there are a lot of people who are said to be "genius" who also happen to be real pricks in daily life...

True that. Recently read some critique about Feynman and how he shouldn't be respected as a physicist because he was a womanizer. What, someone without respect for women in the 1950s? Whooda thunkit.

Don't know which kind of man he was. I admit that I like MM and The Last Sitting is the iconic masterpiece of sensual photography imo. Our public library has a huge folio of the last sitting and the pictures are awesome. Sterns report on their first meeting: "she came alone and was only 5 hours late". It probably was one of the most memorable encounters in the history of photography.
