Do they have photo's of the signing of the Declaration?  I want that cover!   :angel:
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."
--Lysander Spooner

I reject your authoritah!

EVERY photo?

I find it kind of hard to believe that Life took fewer than 100 photographs during the 1930s.


Oh, never mind. OK.

One of the most amazing photos ever taken.

This is a Japanese bomb exploding on the deck of the USS Enterprise during WW II.

The photographer was killed.

A search for "rifle" nets some nice pictures.
