Submit your own. An anti-war poster exhibition; artists, designers and students can submit their own designs. "This project was started in early March on a public design forum, in the midst of spirited debate over the impending war in Iraq. One member of the design forum suggested that the other members offset their war anxieties by focusing their energies in a more positive way. He encouraged everyone to create posters that expressed their views of the war." 10:37:25 PM   Cult | |

This is Science Fiction. Visco is a visual catalogue of cover art of science fiction, fantasy, weird and horror fiction magazines from the early twentieth century to the present day. And it's simply fantastic. "When it is fully developed - it will never be finally complete - it will display an image of the cover of every magazine of the genre in the English language that can be located. In these early versions of Visco, we are a long way from that aim. About 1200 magazine issues are depicted out of a possible 9,000 or more." 6:37:31 PM   Cult | |

The Cambridge Four. Interesting article in 7 parts about the Cambridge spies. "There have been no more successful, more dramatically impressive spies than a group of Englishmen who all met at Trinity College, Cambridge University in the 1930s. To one degree or another, they were active for the Soviet Union for over thirty years. They were the most efficient espionage agents against American and British interests of any collection of spies in the Twentieth Century. One of them, Kim Philby, served the KGB for almost fifty years." 11:42:03 AM   Cult | |
