Yesterday, SIPA hosted a talk by Stephen Ferry on photography and human rights in Colombia, and Ross Chapman was there to bring you the details. Few countries have a part of their history explicitly called “The Violence.” One rare exception is the nation of Colombia, whose civil wars have spanned on and off for over […]
Here’s an article on early Kotex ads (you know, before the blue liquid). (Jezebel) From Couch, the New York Times’s column on therapy: a writer muses on a pebble collection.
