It's amazing and terrible to see such raw photographs of New York from such a dark time in urban history. Thank you for posting that “Brutal New York” link.

I was terrified of nuclear war when I was a child (from about age 4 on--don't watch Vietnam before school each morning), and I think my mom, who taught at my school, made sure I was out of the room/school when it was shown, in order to keep me from going completely over the edge. Any wonder all these kids who grew up thinking they'd never grow up became the risk-takers (for good and bad) in the 60s? If you're going to die tomorrow, why not do it today?
