President Trump made no effort to dispel the impression that he wants Attorney General Jeff Sessions out, telling reporters on Tuesday, We will see what happens. Time will tell.

At a news conference on Tuesday at the White House, President Trump took questions about his attorney general, Jeff Sessions.

Mr. Sessions remained silent, but Mr. Trumps continued criticism of an early ally has opened a rift with conservatives who see the attorney general as their champion. It has also raised questions about the future of the investigation into Russias election interference and highlighted the complicated relationship between the president and congressional Republicans.

War in a periscope declared the front page of The Times on this day in 1942.

The headline accompanied an image from the U.S. Navy, the first combat action photograph taken through the periscope of an American undersea craft.

That got us wondering about other photographic firsts at The Times, so we dived into our archives.

The Times published its first photographs on Sept. 6, 1896, in the first edition of its Sunday Magazine. (The pictures were of two candidates in the 1860 presidential election. Pictures of white, male politicians? Some things never change.)

It took 13 more years for a photograph to appear on the front page. The Times sponsored a daredevil flight from Albany to New York City and ran a picture of the plane at takeoff.

Experiments with color printing began as far back as the early 20th century, but the front page was strictly black and white until Oct. 16, 1997, when a photograph of the World Series-bound Cleveland Indians appeared.

Because of an editing error, an earlier version of a caption with this briefing misidentified both the source and the target of a torpedo that sank a Japanese ship. The torpedo was from a U.S. submarine, not a destroyer, and sank a Japanese destroyer, not a battleship.
