" It&amp;#039;s that damn Scotsman with the camera who won&amp;#039;t get off his porch. To be specific, it&amp;#039;s Harry Benson, the great Glasgow-born photographer who took this striking picture of the glowering justice just days after his confirmation. What had started off as a pleasant morning-Benson took shots for Life magazine of Thomas kissing his wife and reading the Bible-had come to an uncomfortable end. &amp;quot;I was hanging around his house just a wee bit too long, and I could see him tighten up,&amp;quot; Benson says. &amp;quot;I think the picture sums up his character. That&amp;#039;s not a pleasant face you&amp;#039;re looking at.&amp;quot; The image--never before published--is from Harry Benson: Fifty Years in Pictures ($50; Harry N. Abrams), a remarkable new book of photojournalism that also includes shots of RFK&amp;#039;s assassination and a bare-chested, wild-eyed Mark David Chapman. Esquire will publish an exclusive portfolio from the book in January. --DEREK FAGERSTROM "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
