...union was having too much fun and making too much money to pay much attention to Helling's warning. It was far easier and financially prudent to ignore the issue, to assume that Helling was an alarmist prone to exaggerating, and to make sure everyone involved knew as little as possible about players injecting hard-core steroids into their asses. Don't ask, don't tell and don't care was the unwritten code...

It’s getting easier to forget that there was a time when subtle, deliberately constructed letters, ripe with frustration and emotion, were the common form of exchange.Guy Debord lived in such a time. Born in Paris in 1931, he was a founding member of both the Lettrist International and Situationist International movements, and he wrote letters—a lot of them. The SI movement attempted to use art for social and political change. Indeed...
