OUR TIMES
When the earth shook and Zsa Zsa went on trial, when the Communist monolith in Eastern Europe cracked and Operation Rescue picketed abortion clinics, when the Pan Pacific Auditorium burned and the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska’s Prince William Sound--even when President Bush rocked out--a Times photographer was there to capture the event concisely, memorably. The images in this portfolio were chosen from among favorite shots submitted by Times photographers. Together they make a select summary of the big events and the everyday moments of 1989.
