on the way to work yesterday, I spied a three-story high McGruff the Crime Dog on the Mall. I didn't have time to get off the bus and when I went back after work he was deflated, as are we as a nation.

Somewhere between chick tracts and YouTube lies the lost artform of the filmstrip - what some critics call the ur-Powerpoint. This program celebrates not only the educational filmstrips that delighted and bored students of a certain age, but commercial titles used to promote everything from lab safety to the new fall fashion season ... circa 1971.
