What's Old Is New Again
Lately, I've been looking back at media coverage of previous Presidential elections, and I recently came across an article by Eleanor Roosevelt about the standards that should be applied when we elect a Preseident, in the August 1960 issue of Esquire Magazine.
While the article was interesting in the context of the choice faced by the American electorate that Fall, between Richard Nixon and John Kennedy, the magazine's cover photo really caught my attention.
This was 1960, nearly sixty years ago, but the woman in the photo looks like she might have been photographed in 2016 - no Sixties hairdo, or wardrobe. The photo was from an article in the magazine about Hong Kong, and how different it was from the Hong Kong portrayed in the very popular Hollywood film that was running at the time - "The World Of Suzie Wong".
