Vintage 1970s terrorist memorability and tchotchkes are available from the Baader-Meinhof store!

Whether you buy it from them or not, I recommend How It All Began, a memoir by one of the Baader-Meinhof people. It's fascinating and grim and important. But the bumper stickers are kind of cool too, in a post-everything way.

The best part of my occasional medication-checkup visits to the psychiatrist's office is the brochures. No, really. The drug companies produce these things, which don't mention any specific drug but urge you to deal with your problem. I've posted some pictures of swag and brochures before. Today's offering is "Balanced", a look at one housewife's indoctrination in to the proper way to handle her problems. It seriously looks like that comic strip "Baby Blues". Also, note older male psychologist authority figure and emphasis on Women Problems.

Balanced!

At the psychiatrist's office, even the tissue boxes are drug company ads. Weeping, the hapless patient reaches for relief, only to be told: LIFE IS WAITING.

The wait?
