Today Indians are looking to their own oral histories, as well as reading between the lines of the journals, to re-interpret what happened. Says Ben Sherman, president of the Western American Indian Chamber in Denver: "The upcoming events portray Clark as the benevolent protector of Indians--that's propagandist baloney." The tragic aftermath: as Governor of the Missouri Territory and Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Clark presided over President Thomas Jefferson's land-grab policy, which some historians characterize as a direct cause of "cultural genocide" and "ethnic cleansing...

Sweating up the back pockets of traveling salesmen during the 1930s, the so-called Tijuana Bibles were the first truly "underground" comix. Pure pornography, these crudely printed eight-page pamphlets put popular comicstrip characters in more "adult" situations, expounding on the likes of Dagwood's obvious oral fixation. Later the comix artists of the 1960s used identical mixes of sex, racial stereotypes and pop culture for artistic and political subversion. But now, having inseminated the medium, porn comix seem spent. With dullness and utilitarianism, they whore themselves out to men who no longer find the Batman and Robin relationship satisfying...
