Well...does this, then, authenticate Kerry actually being in the crowd ?

Corbis would have to validate that, since they own it. But, since it is taken from their 'catalog', it does appear to be legit. If it were altered, Corbis could be liable, so alterations seem highly unlikely.

It'd be hard for Kerry to deny that that's an authentic picture. Not only was Kerry present at the rally, but he (and Fonda, both) gave rabble-rousing speeches to the mob at Valley Forge in 1970, according to the book recently published by Douglas Brinkley.

IIRC, Kerry's speech to this very crowd is what catapulted him to the top leadership spot of VVAW. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.)
