Why does the Boston Globe mention what the sunbathing guy is reading?

I'm reposting this for my Lounge buddies:

"Tom Kelly of Belmont read ��American Soldier�� by General Tommy Franks and Malcolm McConnell while resting on the Charles River in Brighton yesterday. (Globe Staff Photo / John Bohn)"

http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2005/06/27/13_hospitalized_after_lightning_strikes_ballfield/

First of all, the story is about lightning strikes in the Boston area. Secondly, would the Globe mention he was reading "Against All Enemies" by Richard Clarke or "Intelligence Matters" by Bob Graham? I think not. :eyes:

Despite his choice of reading, he sure has nice arms!

4. On the other hand....

I'm sure it would have been a subscriber question "what was he reading?".

5. My question would be

Why is he reading in such a weird position? Doesn't look too comfortable.

7. How can he be resting on the Charles River?

Maybe he is resting by the Charles River. I haven't seen many rivers shaped like a park bench with grass around it, or should I say "on" it?
