Photographers and reporters had a love/hate relationship with Rafe Vincennes - hate for his generally unforthcoming attitude and love thanks to his penchant for propelling himself into the public eye.
Headlines shouted the story:
"Rafe Vincennes Rescues Captive Child"
"Rafe Rides Again"
"Mystery Surrounds Vincennes' Latest Exploit"
and Rafe's personnel favorite - "Another Notch on His Gun".
