- A truly cosmopolitan culture permits its members to choose different styles of life and thought, including antiquated ones, as long as they don’t harm the neighbors. -

I have to assume that given the source, and the subject of the adoration; that the Judeo-Christian tradition, styles of life, and thought are excluded from the tolerance they are so vain about.

(F 1.4 to about F2.O, IIRC) It was quiet, unobtrusive, and with black and white film it could take photos with just street light illumination in a lot of instances. If someone with some time and money available got to tinkering with the current off the shelf tech., I think it would be possible to make a "wearable" camera. The view finder would be in a pair of glasses perhaps and the rest of the cammera could be hidden.
