Set of stamps issued by Cuba in 1966 to note "US Genocide in Vietnam." The depiction of bombs falling, gas warfare, and poisoned water buffalos are brilliant miniature examples of mid-1960s Cuban graphic art. The flag of the National Liberation Front of South Vietnam (the Vietcong) makes up the background to each horrifying vignette.
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.
