In 1972, Chinatown in Amsterdam was photographed by Ab Koers. The IISG received this photo collection in 2006. Ab Koers originally took these photographs in and around the Binnen Bantammerstraat for a reportage, which appeared in the magazine Avenue in 1973. This reportage, made together with journalist Nico Polak, was characterised as 'stunning and outstanding' in the book De rafelrand van Amsterdam (The frayed edges of Amsterdam)

FRANCIS CRICK, the Nobel Prize-winning father of modern genetics, was under the influence of LSD when he first deduced the-helix structure of DNA nearly 50 years ago.
The abrasive and unorthodox Crick and his brilliant American co-researcher James Watson famously celebrated their eureka moment in March 1953 by running from the now legendary Cavendish Laboratory in
Cambridge to the nearby Eagle pub, where they announced over pints of bitter that they had discovered the secret of life.
Crick, who died ten days ago, aged 88, later told a fellow scientist that he often used small doses of LSD then an experimental drug used in psychotherapy to boost his powers of thought. He said it was LSD, not
the Eagle's warm beer, that helped him to unravel the structure of DNA, the discovery that won him the Nobel Prize.

The Lords Of Acid - this would make a great movie - the guys who spread LSD around the nation!
Former Pittsburgh Pirates' pitcher Dock Ellis says he was under the influence of LSD when he pitched a 1970 no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.
Ellis, now co-coordinator of an anti drug program in Los Angeles, said he didn't know until six hours before his June 12, 1970 no hitter that he was going to pitch.
"I was in Los Angeles, and the team was playing in San Diego , but I didn't know it. I had taken LSD..... I thought it was an off-day, that's how come I had it in me. I took the LSD at noon. At 1pm, his girlfriend and trip partner looked at the paper and said, "Dock, you're pitching today!"
"That's when it was $9.50 to fly to San Diego. She got me to the airport at 3:30. I got there at 4:30, and the game started at 6:05pm. It was a twi-night doubleheader. http://www.sirbacon.org/4membersonly/docellis.htm
This is a small selection of my psychedelic sketches and diary pages from the early seventies, done under the influence of lsd-25. They don't have any artistic value.

TOP 10 MOVIES TO TRIP/ GET HIGH TO:
#10- KISMET -
The beats in the 1950's would get together to watch this amazing film which transforms the Middle East into a science fiction landscape with cool music and outrageous costumes, sets, and a really fun script. Throw in a twin Asian contortionist pair and what more could you ask for? RUNNER-UP: PROJECT A with Jackie Chan.
#9: REQUIEM FOR A DREAM-
Jennifer Connelly was 30 when she played an early 20's doper. But my god what a performance. The unusual editing and storyline make this one a must. RUNNER-UP: Any of the Peter Jackson LORD OF THE RINGS movies.
#8: APOCALYPSE NOW -
With scenes like this, how could this NOT be a stoners movie?
When you first read the title your eyes probably raised to your forehead as you said outloud, WHAT? A WAR FILM?
If the movie was just a war film, do you think people who have seen it would go out of the way to see it over and over? The opening scene is the giveaway, as the music of THE DOORS starts the film (which is about as synonymous with tripping or being high as you can get) and helicopters rise up into the screen. BUT WAIT- at one point one of the characters actually holds up a tab of acid and takes it. According to Dennis Hopper, EVERYONE on the set was tripping through most of the film. (Except, oddly, Brando). When Harvey Keitell showed up to star in the movie he found most of the cast tripping and quit the movie. I was once at a trip party for 20 people when the film was about to start. Most of the women said they'd leave to walk around. After the first ten minutes no one moved. Not even to get a beer! RUNNER-UP: GODZILLA AND MOTHRA: THE BATTLE FOR EARTH or GODZILLA FINAL WARS.
#7: STAR WARS -
you probably know this one already. By the way, it may be science fiction, but it too is a war film, isn't it? RUNNER-UP: THE EMERALD JUNGLE.
#6: SATYRICON -
In the 1970's hippies lined up around the block to go to midnight shows of this epic trip/ stoner movie. One reviewer said, A FABULOUS TRIP INTO A TOTALLY DECADENT CIVILIZATION. That tipped hipsters off that it was best seen tripping. Fellini had made many great films, but SATYRICON became a rite of passage for trippers. Once hipsters saw it, the idea that you could get high to a movie seemed natural. You will want to see it straight as well. RUNNER-UP: Jerry Lewis in THE NUTTY PROFESSOR. Watch Jerry turn into his ex-partner, DEAN MARTIN!
#5: WILLY WONKA -
As much as I like Johnny Depp's version, the Gene Wilder version is the most pleasing to the eye. RUNNER-UP: FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. Critics trashed this film when it came out. Apparently they were straight when they saw it. A couple of drinks actually enhances the film. RUNNER-UP: THE WIZARD OF OZ.
#4: BLADE RUNNER-
Any version. You probably already know this. RUNNER-UP: PULP FICTION, if you can handle the violence, this is really a very religious story about redemption.
#3: TARZAN AND HIS MATE -
The best Tarzan ever made. After a slow first ten minutes to introduce the characters, the film takes off and never stops. There is actually more action, thrills and excitement in this film than RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC which would have come in at 11 if this list went that far. Jane does a nude swimming scene (full frontal- before the censorship code started in 1934- partly because of this movie). The fact that Jane is the key figure in this film, is sexy and heroic makes it a date favorite. You won't believe what American films could get away with before censorship started. And you will never forget TARZAN AND HIS MATE. Runner-up: any version of KING KONG.
#2 : FORBIDDEN PLANET-
Before there was STAR TREK, which many feel was a rip-off of this film, FORBIDDEN PLANET took us where no man had gone before. The music alone, played on Theremins non-stop, would be more than enough to recommend this movie. But then you have the costumes, the sets, and one of the most imaginative stories American film has ever told. Straight or stoned, this one is a must. RUNNER-UP: THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN.
#1: PERFORMANCE -
Critics went into shock when this film came out. They screamed it glorified mushrooms, was nothing more than a re-creation of a trip, was made to pander to hippies. Well, yes it was. It is also one of the greatest "lost" films ever made. It has never been released to TV (not even cable!) and most don't know that Mick Jagger did a performance that should have been nominated for an Oscar. Orgy scenes, decadence, drugs- but beneath it all it is the story of transformation and identity. IF you can find this film, you'll see why in the 1970's audiences lined up week after week at midnight shows tripping their butts off- and each time got something different out of the film. Runner-up- The first MATRIX movie. But only the first. RUNNER-UP: ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST. Incredible camera work and editing make this western a must. SEE IT IN WIDE SCREEN VERSION ONLY!

The UK government actually cancels bridge tolls once the bridges have been paid off.
Years before The Beatles, Beach Boys, The Who or the Rolling Stones did their theme albums- Sinatra created a series of theme albums which remain classics. Every single song during this period will touch you. Sinatra's middle period--his Capitol years--was his greatest. Sinatra began recording for Capitol in 1953, and he was a pioneer of the long-playing theme album. His theme albums tended to fall into two major mood groups--exhilaration and despair. This may help explain why Sinatra has outlived death.
Frank Sinatra was famously well-endowed and a voracious womaniser. A new biography details his string of lovers. "There's only ten pounds of Frank, but there's 110 pounds of cock," Ava Gardner once told a British diplomat at a social function. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,923-1605403,00.html
In a bucolic field two miles north of Mount Vernon, beside a baseball diamond in Fort Hunt Park, Va., about 20 veterans of a secret World War II intelligence unit gathered together last year for the first time since 1946. The National Park Service was holding a ceremony to commemorate their service. The men, mostly in their eighties, had never before told their stories. During the war, Fort Hunt was a secret interrogation center, where some 4,000 German and Italian military officers, high-ranking government officials and scientists were debriefed. A few years ago, Park Rangers responsible for the area learned of Fort Hunt's critical intelligence role in recently declassified documents, and they decided to create a memorial and reunite the unit's veterans. The dedication ceremony was held over two balmy, peaceful days last October. http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/cia-largely-in-the3

One of the most fascinating notions raised by the current presidential campaign is the idea that the United States can and must finally overcome the divisions of the 1960s. It's most often associated with the ascendancy of Sen. Barack Obama, who has been known to entertain it himself. Its most gauzy champion is pundit Andrew Sullivan, who argued in a cover article in the December Atlantic Monthly that, "If you are an American who yearns to finally get beyond the symbolic battles of the Boomer generation and face today's actual problems, Obama may be your man."

Any discussion of marijuana should begin with the fact that there have been numerous official reports and studies, every one of which has concluded that marijuana poses no great risk to society and should not be criminalized. These include:
- the National Academy of Sciences Analysis of Marijuana Policy (1982);
- the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse (the Shafer Report) (1973);
- the Canadian Government's Commission of Inquiry (Le Dain Report) (1970);
- the British Advisory Committee on Drug Dependency (Wooton Report) (1968);
- the La Guardia Report (1944);
- the Panama Canal Zone Military Investigations (1916-29);
- and Britain's monumental Indian Hemp Drugs Commission (1893-4).
It is sometimes claimed that there is ``new evidence'' showing marijuana is more harmful than was thought in the sixties. In fact, the most recent studies have tended to confirm marijuana's safety, refuting claims that it causes birth defects, brain damag e, reduced testosterone, or increased drug abuse problems. http://paranoia.lycaeum.org/marijuana/facts/mj-health-mythology.html

There is a chill in the air in Hollywood. VANITY FAIR has cancelled it's after Oscar's party. For a city that has lost hundreds of millions during the writer's strike, the end was hoped to be near. But Vanity Fair has generated a different kind of chill as well, with it's special ALFRED HITCHCOCK tribute. Not just a really long article, but videos of stars recreating moments from Hitchcock films. Here is a link to the making of the videos:
In Hitchcock's first suspense film, all of London is in the grip of terror as a ruthless Jack the Ripper-style killer known as the Avenger has committed a series of murders.
The Silent Film Society and Lake Forest College proudly present Alfred Hitchcock's The Lodger in a special matinee performance on Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 2:30 p.m. at the Portage Theatre, 4050 N. Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago. The 40-piece Lake Forest College Orchestra with conductor David Amrein will provide live photoplay accompaniment. This is also the Chicago debut of the new Lodger photoplay score composed by David Amrein, Meg Golembieski and Don Meyer.
Alfred Hitchcock liked to appear in at least one scene in his movies. Here we have a nice collection of some of those scenes.
It has been called the greatest film trailer ever made. It is the trailer for the astonishing film PSYCHO.

Titles include: Aphasia (1961), cut and assembled commercial and soft news language into a found poetry that is still original and fresh; Scandinavian Summer (1961), where Porter cut out pages from Scandinavian, Russian, and American newspaper archives at random, bound them together, and called the result a book; 468B Thy Future (1966), a book written entirely in computer code; The Wastemaker (1926-1961) where texts are divorced from their sources and disguised in a new tone, not intended by the original author; and Dieresis (1969) where the photographs in the book are the modern equivalents of ancient ideograms, capable of being read as texts.

I was disappointed at the lack of information that comes up when you punch "funhouse" into Google (the Stooges album hogs all the links). I soon realized that this is because the official name of this type of ride is not "funhouse," but "dark ride." I'm the last to know. A dark ride is any amusement park attraction that plops riders into a mechanical car and follows a single track through a dark, often serpentine, indoor space

Star forts are incredible, relatively unappreciated structures that have recently become a fascination of mine - humungous constructions that only really become visually stunning when you look down on them from above. this type of fortification design was adopted in the early 16th century as people realised that simpler, often circular forts were pretty crap when it came to the job in hand: defense.

TODAY'S THEME IS DEDICATED TO RIPLEY: THE MAN WHO GAVE US THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER!
THE SONG DIXIE IS ABOUT THE NORTH, J. EDGAR HOOVER DID NOT WEAR DRESSES- BUT...., WAS JOE McCARTHY RIGHT?!?, WAS LINCOLN A RACIST?, THE THOMAS JEFFERSON SEX SLAVE QUESTION - IS IT REALLY SETTLED?, WAS JFK A LEFTIST?, DID WE CREATE OSAMA BIN LADEN?
I was a kid when I first discovered Ripley's Believe It Or Not (and many of my pals say my unique way of looking at history was formed by him). Today we look at the strange and unusual facts lost in history. Have fun!
In 1929 Robert Ripley, the man who created the RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT franchise discovered that America had no national anthem! Six attempts to make the song the anthem were stopped by Congress who recognized the tune to be a note for note copy of a British drinking song. Ripley did a short fim for movie theaters in which he explained that we had no anthem in 1930, and Herbert Hoover would make the song our anthem. The concession to tee totalers to keep people from drinking during the song? Placing your hand over your heart, so you couldn't drink! Find that in your history books!
Ripley has had TV shows, museums, and even old time radio shows. Check out the Ripley website for old time radio shows (with cool music), amazing baseball facts and just loads of cool stuff! http://www.ripleys.com/
Did J. Edgar Hoover wear dresses?
The above answer however does not mean that Hoover had no scandal about his life:
Not all slave masters abused their slaves - Some actually treated them like family and bore children by them, like the Mississippi plantation owner, William Hoover. He had eight children by my Great Grandmother, Elizabeth Allen. One of those children was my Grandfather William Allen, and one was his brother, Ivery Hoover, who later had one son; J. Edgar." Millie McGhee, author of Secrets Uncovered, J Edgar Hoover - Passing For White?
A new book entitled Secrets Uncovered, J Edgar Hoover - Passing For White? has been published revealing that J Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI for most of its early history from 1924 until his death in 1972, had black ancestors. http://www.fantompowa.net/Flame/hoover_fbi.htm
Everyone knows that Thomas Jefferson had sex with one of his slaves, resulting in a kid. The bad news? Those are also the same people (the press), that thought Hoover wore dresses. Get ready to have that belief turned upside down! http://www.ashbrook.org/articles/mayer-hemings.html
The song DIXIE is now hated and seldom played. The original "Dixie," was actually Johan Dixie (or Dixy), a Manhattan slave owner (yes, there were such things) in the 1800's. With the abolition of slavery in the northern states, Dixie, known as a decent slave owner (a debatable concept, to put it mildly), had to send his slaves to the South. Faced with harsher treatment in the South, the slaves remembered "Dixieland" (later shortened to just "Dixie") as a land of contentment. It's true. THE WORD IS ABOUT THE NORTH! http://www.word-detective.com/back-i2.html
Accused of creating a bogus Red Scare and smearing countless innocent victims in a five-year reign of terror, Senator Joseph McCarthy is universally remembered as a demagogue, a bully, and a liar. History has judged him such a loathsome figure that even today, a half century after his death, his name remains synonymous with witch hunts.
But that conventional image is all wrong, as veteran journalist and author M. Stanton Evans reveals in this groundbreaking book. The long-awaited Blacklisted by History, based on six years of intensive research, dismantles the myths surrounding Joe McCarthy and his campaign to unmask Communists, Soviet agents, and flagrant loyalty risks working within the U.S. government. Evans’s revelations completely overturn our understanding of McCarthy, McCarthyism, and the Cold War.
Soviet documents released now back up McCarthy's claims!
Drawing on primary sources—including never-before-published government records and FBI files, as well as recent research gleaned from Soviet archives and intercepted transmissions between Moscow spymasters and their agents in the United States—Evans presents irrefutable evidence of a relentless Communist drive to penetrate our government, influence its policies, and steal its secrets. Most shocking of all, he shows that U.S. officials supposedly guarding against this danger not only let it happen but actively covered up the penetration. All of this was precisely as Joe McCarthy contended. http://www.amazon.com/Blacklisted-History-Senator-McCarthy-Americas/dp/140008105X
The true story of the adopted black child of Jefferson Davis! Hidden for a century!
Jim Limber Davis was rescued from an abusive guardian by Varina Davis when he was only five years old. Jefferson and Varina Davis welcomed him into their home, the Confederate White House, as one of the family, and Jim lived with them until the fall of the Confederacy.
When Union soldiers invaded Richmond, Virginia, they captured Jefferson Davis. Later, they kidnapped Jim Limber in Georgia and spread cruel rumors that he was Jefferson Davis's slave. This true story provides a glimpse of how Jim was accepted as one of the Davis's children and reveals their family's love and compassion for him. The story hidden by the victorious North for over 100 years- is now becoming known. http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Limber-Davis-Orphan-Confederate/dp/158980435X
ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the American president revered as "The Great Emancipator" for leading the war to abolish slavery, was really a racist who used offensive language to describe black people and wanted all Afro-Americans deported, according to newly published research which has prompted controversy in the United States.
Far from being the willing forefather of today's multicultural America, President Lincoln advocated reserving the west of the country for whites, supported a law forbidding black people to settle in his home state of Illinois and was fond of racist jokes. He used two State of the Union addresses to call for the deportation of black people and shortly before his assassination in 1865 said of the thousands of slaves to be freed at the end of the Civil War: "I believe it would be better to export them all to some fertile country with a good climate which they could have to themselves."
He also habitually used the word "nigger" to describe black people, something which would have shocked and dismayed the hundreds of thousands of civil rights activists in the Sixties who made the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC the focus of some of the biggest demonstrations the city has seen. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/htmlContent.jhtml?html=/archive/2000/06/04/wlin04.html
Movies and conspiracy theories have as their core belief that JFK was a leftist who threatened the establishment. There is a problem. THE FACTS! Kennedy struck right at the jugular of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations. Having criticized FDR's people for handing Eastern Europe to Stalin at Yalta in 1945, he joined Republicans in blasting the Truman administration and the State Department for their culpability in China's collapse before the Communists four years later. Speaking from the House floor, he said, "The responsibility for [this] failure...rests squarely with the White House and the Department of State."
Kennedy also confronted communist subversion at home. As a House labor committee member, he helped convict a communist union official. While in the Senate, he backed Senator Joseph McCarthy's investigations. In January 1955, after McCarthy had fallen from power, JFK walked out on a banquet speech by McCarthy-hating journalist Edward R. Murrow. Three years later, at a Harvard dinner, when a speaker compared McCarthy with convicted Soviet spy Alger Hiss, JFK exclaimed, "How dare you couple the name of a great American patriot with that of a traitor!," and stormed out

The Vitaphone division of Warner Bros. was established in Brooklyn specifically for the production of musical shorts. The Vitaphone process was an early sound format that synched the picture to a record. The proximity of the New York stage provided Vitaphone productions with an endless pool of vaudevillian talent. And in many cases, the Vitaphone shorts are the only surviving recordings of these vaudeville acts. For example, a year before the landmark talkie The Jazz Singer (1927), Al Jolson did a Vitaphone short called A Plantation Act. Other Vitaphone acts included Baby Rose Marie shown in Baby Rose Marie the Child Wonder (1929), George Burns and Gracie Allen featured in Lambchops (1929), and Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen in Nut Guilty (1936). The Nicholas Brothers also sang and danced their way through the Vitaphone short The Black Network (1936). In 1938, Vitaphone studios was moved West and incorporated into the Warner Bros. Hollywood shorts division.
