...historical perspective of Marley's battle against Babylon. The album cover features a quote attributed to Marcus Garvey, the late Jamaican black leader: "A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin, and culture is like a tree without roots." The inner-sleeve has a centuries-old diagram illustrating how to best pack black Africans into a slave ship. Marley's songs elaborate on these themes of black exploitation...
...suggest a tragic sense of history. A case in point is his dreadful reliquary of Auschwitz, from the Stroher collection in Darmstadt: its few objects in a glass case-blocks of fat on a battered electric hot plate, moldering sausages, a mummified rat on a straw bed, a diagram of the camp, a drawing of a child-are perhaps the most poignant, and certainly the least exploitative, image in modern art of that catastrophe...
...staff members of the tiny Madison Press Connection (circ. 11,398) were distributing copies of an eight-page "extra" edition around Wisconsin's capital. The innocuous-sounding front-page headline: A CITIZEN WRITES TO A SENATOR. The incendiary subject: hydrogen bomb "secrets" with details and even a crude diagram.

What was immediately clear was that the paper had blown apart the legal vises tightened against three other publications seeking to print H-bomb exposés and, for the moment, headed off a collision...
...accompanying diagram consider a point constrained to move along the surface subject to the value of both variables. A change in either control factor from (a) to (b), (a) to (c) or (b) to (e) produce only a continuous change in behavior, represented by a gradual rise or fall along the vertical axis. An increase in factor 2 from (c) to (d), however, results in a sudden drop to (a) on the surface below, once the point crossed the edge of the fold at (d). This dramatic plunge is a catastrophe and signifies a discontinuous "jump" in behavior from...
Prices can fluctuate widely for the same product or service in different communities. In fact, as indicated in the accompanying diagram of some 22 consumer items in Atlanta, a city chosen by TIME because it closely parallels national price trends, a large number of goods and services have risen far more than 100% since 1967, while others have gone up much less. Only one item-long-distance phone calls-has declined. (In many cities, of course, the cost of person-to-person and collect calls has risen substantially...
