The devil takes many forms. Always has always will. I've know some who at first were real lookers turned out to be very ugly people on the inside.

I think the objection is that the RS photo is awfully flattering for someone who caused so much pain and suffering.

OK what's the hoopla? Really??? The actions he did color ones perception anyway. Just goes to show you never know what is going on in ones mind.

I don't think either photo is particularly "flattering". I think Bob is correct in thinking that perhaps some folks are simply using it as an excuse to attack a traditionally liberal magazine.
A very emotional and reactionary display of bad behaviour, wouldn't you agree?

Maybe. But RS has already put a semi "Mea culpa" on their web site accompanying the article which seems to side-step the issue of the "glam" photo.
RS has done some excellent journalistic work over the years, but they've also had a history of pursuing magazine covers that elicit a "reaction" from their readers. I guess they shouldn't be too surprised when they get a reaction from some that is negative.

What magazine doesn't try to elicit a reaction from their readers with provocative cover photos?
Isn't that the whole point of a cover photo, to attract attention?
Come on, now.
