Hundreds Register for New Facebook Website. When Mark E. Zuckerberg ’06 grew impatient with the creation of an official universal Harvard facebook, he decided to take matters into his own hands. After about a week of coding, Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com last Wednesday afternoon.

The Propaganda of Capitalism. Last week's series of American Legion magazine covers resulted in an interesting discussion in the comments section about Communism, Capitalism and the nature of propaganda. It got me thinking once again about how industry presented itself to the public through advertising during the mid-century. So I pulled out my stack of early 1950s Fortune magazines and found something very interesting.

Ironically, those 4 articles on Russia share space with an ad campaign unlike any I've ever seen - in Fortune or any other magazine. General Electric chose that issue to present a multi-page ad campaign extolling their seemingly limitless accomplishments in industrial innovation. Sometimes the imagery (and the message) is fervently militaristic. Sometimes it is aptly industrial. Often it is remarkably pleasing, despite some really dull subject matter...
