Capturing the kick and stir of history as it unfolded, American Datelines reveals the courage, hope, and grit of the American experience as chronicled in the headlines of the nation's public press from the earliest issue of The Boston News-Letter to the major newspapers of today. The original articles in this compelling collection are arranged chronologically and appear as they were first published, providing a lively and unique view of the events that have most influenced politics and culture. Readers can experience the thrill and excitement of breaking news from the real story of Jesse James and the capture of Al Capone to a vibrant portrayal of baseball's first professional African American player and a probing look at the shocking New York Armory show where modern art was born. This first paperback edition features an updated introduction by the editors and several newsworthy additions, including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the O. J. Simpson trial, the Clinton impeachment trial, the home run race between Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, and Bush v. Gore.

Leaping provocatively off the pages of comic books from the 1940's and 1950s, sandwiched in between the adventures of Captain Marvel or Archie or Mutt &amp; Jeff, were the shameless and often bizarre advertisements for miraculous products that promised to change your life.This book collects the best of these ads, re-igniting all the wonder and hope of that more innocent era. Glow-in-the-dark neckties, miniature monkeys in a cup, a lamp that turns into a Christmas tree, as well as surefire ways to get rid of pimples.

Hey Skinny! Great Advertisements from the Golden Age of Comic Books
