Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

A little bit of (un)friendly advice
From the Chinese magazine "Evergreen" August 1965.
"The [Korean and Vietnamese people] have proved the fact that the U.S. is merely a paper tiger, mighty in appearance but feeble in reality, and which bullies the weak and fears the strong. Such a paper tiger can certainly be defeated.... We must hate, despise and look down upon U.S. imperialim still further."
