Cindy Sheehan Corners Jesse Jackson

Celebrity status, some call it "star-power" is a perishable thing. It has to be re-charged from time-to-time, usually by means of direct contact (confirmed by exposure in the mainstream media). Here we see Cindy contorting herself to get her face as close to Jesse's to ensure that both will fit in the camera's frame. Clutching Cindy's left arm is a barely visible Joan Baez. This is a direct transfer of celebrity from Jackson-to-Sheehan-to-Baez. Later in the march Cindy will have to shake off Baez to prevent her from draining off what she is drawing from Jackson.
