‘The Doomsday Clock at 75′ explores how the Chicago-born cultural icon keeps tick, tick, ticking away
Rick Kogan Chicago Tribune Chicago — The Doomsday Clock was born in 1947 in Chicago, a Cold War baby delivered as the illustration for the first cover of a new magazine, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. It was set at 7 minutes to midnight, an indication of how close a team of revered scientists believed the world was to nuclear annihilation. It was designed by landscape painter Martyl Suzanne Schweig Langsdorf (who went by Martyl professionally).

The photo on the right shows Ukrainian children and babies taking shelter in a basement in Kyiv during an air raid (Credit: Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, changes made, CC BY 4.0). The voice is so immediate, so visceral, it sounds like accounts from Ukrainians being bombed by Russian forces today.
Psychedelics: The newest tool in nuclear negotiations?
The plan was simple: Give the psychedelic drug MDMA (popularly known as Ecstasy) to Soviet scientists and military personnel set to negotiate with US President Ronald Reagan in 1985, thereby injecting empathy and cross-cultural understanding into the nuclear peace process. So, that’s just what Rick Doblin and Carol Rosin say they did—and they still believe introducing psychedelics into nuclear negotiations can produce positive results.
Fireworks at Graceland: How Elvis Spent His Last Christmas Before Boot Camp
In December 1957, Elvis was preparing to ship out for military service early the next year, and he wanted to go out with a bang. Quite literally. On Christmas Eve, Elvis and his cousins piled into a limousine and crossed the state line into Mississippi, where fireworks were legally sold (fireworks were outlawed in Tennessee). The group hit four different fireworks shops, spending a total of $1,800—upward of $16,000 in 2021 dollars.

Marvel Comics’ 1984 Dune movie adaptation: An Oral History
Comic book adaptations of movies weren’t new in 1984—Marvel Comics had already had success with its Star Wars series, as well as comic versions of Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979), Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Krull (1983). But the comic book adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi epic Dune, brought to the screen by David Lynch (not yet famous for Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet), was special. “There was so much hype for Dune,” remembers Tom DeFalco, then executive editor at Marvel.

Why Ernest Hemingway Makes a Great Subject for Comic Book Artists
Comic book creators and Hemingway share a natural kinship. The comic book page demands an economy of words, and—for multi-panel stories—a lot of the action takes place between the panels. It’s an interactive reading experience, much like Hemingway’s work. It demands that you interpret and bring yourself to the text, like Hemingway’s less-is-more “iceberg theory,” in graphic form.

Paris Review - The Vast Night
Often I gazed at you in wonder: stood at the window begun the day before, stood and gazed at you in wonder. As yet the new town seemed denied to me, and the unpersuaded landscape kept darkening as though I didn’t exist. Even the nearest things made not the slightest effort to be understood. The road thrust itself up to the streetlamp: I saw it was a stranger. Across the way, a room: clarified in the lamplight, accessible; already I took part; they felt that, and closed the shutters. Stood.
