AIDS: History of a Plague



Found this photo story on AIDS on Life's website. Very informative, powerful and thought provoking stuff, telling the history of the public's perception of the disease, all the way back to the 19th century when it made the jump from primates to humans.

Found this slideshow on The New York Times' site today. Makes me wish I was alive in the '50s, what a cool time for pop art and newspapers! Back then, according to this piece, some publishers felt threatened by radio, and the industry adapted and 'radio magazines' were created. Imagine if that generation had known what was to happen to future generations of publishers?
