Between 1972 and 1977 nearly 70 photographers were employed by America’s fledgling Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to photograph the condition of the country’s environment.

Mail seems more solid, though I went back to the classic UI there. There's a lot of serious ugliness in the UI, especially for a design-conscious company like Apple. The Finder and Mail went way too far towards the monochrome look ... the font choices, spacing, and graphic layout all suck. On the other hand, Apple went too far in the other direction in the Address Book and iCal, sacrificing usability and
