There are two drawings here, one in color. Reagan used
cowboy symbology to trivialize state violence. I tried to expose this
but he went glibly on with his rampage and the media portrayed it such
that few outside its direct effects could get a sense of what was going
on. In the U.S. I should qualify. When we went to Amsterdam in 82 there
was an exhibit at the Anne Frank house that made it clear not everyone
was asleep.
