"The greatest invention in housing SINCE THE INVENTION OF BRICKS!"



Ah, the 50s. A strange and optimistic time. Always reinventing the idea of "modern living."

Possibly the weirdest, most depressing web site ever.



I don't know what surprised me more -- the fact that, as his final meal, James Powell requested only a pot of coffee. (Gallows humor, perhaps?) Or the fact that Texas executes people on a shockingly regular basis. And keeps its web site so up-to-date...
