My new post on Politics Daily / Woman Up. V-J Day: A Window Into a Vanished World. Sixty-five years ago on Aug. 14, New Yorkers gathered in Times Square to celebrate the surrender of Japan. On that day, photojournalist Alfred Eisenstaedt captured what may be the most famous kiss in history. V-J Day was a unique moment in time. Cameras were abundant enough to preserve events like spontaneous celebrations, and people were not so wary as to turn away the kiss of a stranger. We were all Americans, and we’d defeated the enemy.

The winning design is a stainless steel net that will be hung beneath the iconic bridge span. The Bridge’s board of directors has been under increasing pressure in recent years to do something more to prevent the numerous suicides that take place on the iconic span. Thirty eight people plummeted to their death last year from the bridge. We’ve previously documented how a film was made capturing some of the suicides that take place on the Golden Gate Bridge. We expressed our frustration in July with the slow progress being made in ere... World of Psychology blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1868528 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 21:43:58 +0100 1868528
