I wonder if those guys hewing down the redwood trees experienced a twinge of guilt over destroying something that had been living for hundreds of years?

I thought the same,stewey.
My favourite was the colourised Civil war photo...could have been taken this morning.

I also loved the one of the three lads smoking. They looked so cocksure and grown up. It immediately reminded me of that great great film 'Once Upon a Time in America'.

Did anyone else think it odd to see a picture of Stalin 'goofing around' like we forget some of these figures did have human attributes!

True enough. Though Hitler's trousers seem remarkably unstained to have been torn to shreds by a bomb.
