This image was the PICTURE OF THE WEEK in the November 8, 1948 issue of LIFE, 70 years ago this week. According to LIFE: "A New York City motorist can be loosely defined as a small body of protoplasm completely surrounded. He sometimes finds his front bumper overlapping the rear bumper of the car ahead, and his own rear bumper overlapped in turn from behind. He is usually the width of a razor blade from the car at his right, and on the left cars nudge his elbow as they whiz by in the opposite direction. Thus LIFE photographer Cornell Capa, driving to Manhattan from La Guardia Field was not at all surprised by the 10-car pile-up on the opposite page. He jumped out and took a time exposure, with streaks of light showing the headlights of the rest of the traffic streaming by."

70 years ago this week, in the Jan. 26, 1948 issue of LIFE - "CROWING CONTEST—Rooster owners coax their birds to strut and cry for the movies." The story featured portraits of roosters and their owners by the great photographer Cornell Capa at a contest sponsored by Warner Pathe News at the Oklahoma State Poultry Show. This image opened the photo essay with the following caption: "A wide-mouthed gamecock crows with surprise as his exhibitor, Mrs. Marjorie Munson of Alva, Okla. coaxes him on with a crow of her own."
