Headlines are historically interesting, such as "Latest Estimate Puts Real Costs of Persian Gulf Invasion at $3.4 Trillion / AIR WAR FAILS / Baghdad Being Bombed to Hell, but Foe's Army Remains Intact; Awesome Casualties Foreseen in Ground War / Pentagon Buries Actual Cost of War, Panel Says / Civilian Deaths Mount in Iraq, Americans Were Misled About Aims, Duration of Gulf War."
There is a Daniel Ellsberg commentary on the front page: "Male Violence, Machismo & Militarism." An art deco style illustration of "Baghdad at Night." A piece called "Full Text of Bush Letter to Saddam: A Speculation by Paul Krassner." And more!
Inside are more surprises... A Polo Dispatch by Hunter S. Thompson... an editorial by Michael Moore (title: "Why Sing When You Can Shoot?")... and an editorial that the San Francisco Examiner refused to publish, by Warren Hinckle, titled "If Saddam Hussein is Hitler, then George Bush is Tojo."
Several devastating editorial cartoons--works by Winston Smith, Gilbert Shelton, Mark Beyer, Z. I. Peht, Mark Zingarelli, and Deitch.
