Today I had a bunch of free time and decided to actually go to the library and peruse through some interesting stuff. I ended up finding the 1939 entire collection of US News and found some very interesting stuff. I really wish they had these resources available when we learned about the Depression and World War II in high school. I also realized that there's actually a nice view of New Haven when I'm there during daylight:

 Evidently Finland is the only one that paid its debts...

And of course there were plenty of skewed graphs on the economy and also, check out the ad for "Boulder Dam"...now more commonly known as Hoover Dam. 

In the restricted section I spotted some cool looking huge cloth maps on scrolls. I'm gonna have to check it out sometime, but we need a librarian's permission.
