Cold War Kids, Part Two
I've been ruminating on the late 1950's and the early 1960's, on The Cold War and the fear and anxiety that it placed in school children of the time. I thought of Khrushchev of course and the way he was portrayed in the press and the black and white TV news.
Upon doing some internet research I found that his son Sergei is a U.S. citizen who teaches at Brown University. The irony of this is not lost on me and my fellow Baby Boomers. This broadside is dedicated to Sergei Khrushchev and my friend Jeff Fargus who I'm sure recalls huddling under his desk too.
History is a fun house mirror and every generation that peers into it sees something different.
