Daisy Ad and Summer Hail Storm
The creater of the infamous daisy ad, Tony Schwartz for Lyndon B. Johnson's campaign in 1964 died at the age of 84.
This ad is really simplistic and just a great representation of the fears during that time. Coincidently, I'm taking a class about JFK's assassination right now and we spend a lot of time talking about the dynamics of the cold war. After JFK's death, Vietnam literally fell into LBJ's lap.
In addition to this, a torrent of hail just came to a stop. There were very ominous looking clouds outside for a while, slowly overtaking the sunshine. The anticipation killed me see as I had to go to the library, but on the entire walk to campus not a drop of rain. In all my nervousness, I made it here dry but I have never witnessed hail such as I did a couple of minutes ago. It seems the weather channel was right for once.
