“LET ME TOUCH HIM”

Thanks to Jonah, I got to see these album covers. Priceless.

HITLER IN ‘HOMES AND GARDENS’: A nostalgic look at the cult of celebrity and consumerism in 1938. And one weblogger’s subsequent lament.

MORE BBC SLEIGHT OF HAND: A reader points out another subtle elision in the BBC’s coverage of important events. The piece originally said: “A senior British intelligence official told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme defence correspondent Andrew Gilligan that the September dossier was rewritten at the behest of Downing Street to make it ‘sexier.'” That “senior British intelligence official” is now merely a “senior official.” Good that it’s now correct. Bad that you’d never know they’d ever made a mistake. The identity of the source was, of course, a critical issue in the war between the BBC and the Blair government.
