"In 1968, Milton Glaser and Lee Savage made a very short, totally silent, anti-war film called "Mickey Mouse in Vietnam." "It was for a thing called the Angry Arts Festival," Glaser told Brian Galindo of BuzzFeed this week, "which was a kind of protest event, inviting artists to produce something to represent their concerns about the war in Vietnam and a desire to end it." The film, which has long been so hard to find that rumors circulated about its demise, was uploaded to YouTube earlier this yea"

"In the Academy Award-winning documentary Hearts and Minds, Daniel Ellsberg, who secretly copied and then released the Pentagon Papers, offers a catalog of presidential lying about the U.S. role in Vietnam: Truman lied. Eisenhower lied. Kennedy lied. Johnson "lied and lied and lied." Nixon lied. (Painting by Robert Shetterly, American's Who Tell the Truth series) Ellsberg concludes: "The American public was lied to month by month by each of these five administrations. As I say, it's a tribute to the American public that their leaders perceived that they had to be lied to; it's no tribute to us that it was so easy to fool the public."

"Ten years ago, writer Richard Rubin set out to talk to every living American veteran of World War I he could find. It wasn't easy, but he tracked down dozens of centenarian vets, ages 101 to 113, collected their stories and put them in a new book called The Last of the Doughboys. He tells NPR's Melissa Block about the veterans he talked to, and the stories they shared."

"The son of the founder of The Hollywood Reporter is apologizing for the trade paper's role in what he calls "Hollywood's holocaust," the blacklist that destroyed the careers of those accused of communist sympathies. In an article published Monday by the trade paper, W.R. Wilkerson III wrote that the 1947 Blacklist "silenced the careers of some of the studios' greatest talent and ruined countless others merely standing on the sidelines.""

We may think of our tweets as real-time snippets of information. But collectively, tweets tell stories - about media scandals, natural disasters, political speeches and more. Over time, these stories become part of an important historical record - one that's made up of a multitude of voices, opinions and ideas. If journalism is the "rough draft of history," Twitter is the "raw draft of history" - imperfect and less polished, but important nonetheless.

In his new book, Believing Is Seeing, Morris focuses on the things you can't see in photographs and the importance of what lies outside the frame.

To understand the power of 9/11 as story, consider a concept in screenwriting that Robert McKee describes as "the inciting incident," the event that sets a story into action. Once you grasp this storytelling strategy, you begin to recognize it everywhere, in stories small and big.

The opening of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in Washington, D.C., comes at a time when it's hard to tell just how close we are to King's "dream." To help us appraise that, Robert Siegel speaks with Julian Bond, a veteran civil rights activist and former chairman of the NAACP.

"The Black Power Mixtape 1967-1975," among other things an extraordinary feat of editing and archival research, takes up a familiar period in American history from a fresh and fascinating angle. In the late 1960s and early '70s, Swedish television journalists traveled to the United States with the intention of "showing the country as it really is." Some of the images and interviews they collected have been assembled by Goran Hugo Olsson into a roughly chronological collage that restores a complex human dimension to the racial history of the era.

Today, we present four documentaries about 9/11. They feature firefighters and volunteers who assisted in recovery efforts, family members of people who died in the attacks and others speaking about their own experiences on Sept. 11, 2001, and the aftermath of the events of that day. We've also included a film that investigates a Gallup poll that gathered the opinions of Muslims around the world in the years since the attacks.

To say the world changed on September 11, 2001, is both a tired cliché and an absolute truth. On this momentous anniversary, we revisit stories from the pages of our magazine and talk with five of our most distinguished writers: Mark Bowden, James Fallows, Robert D. Kaplan, William Langewiesche, and Amy Waldman. National correspondent Jeffrey Goldberg frames the discussion with his essay "What Is 9/11?" and a range of writers offer perspectives on events since then.

This series of entries will last from June 19 until October 30, 2011, running every Sunday morning for 20 weeks. In these photo essays, I hope to explore the events of the war, the people involved at the front and back home, and the effects the war had on everyday lives. The entries will follow a roughly chronological sequence, with some broader themes (such as "The Home Front") interspersed throughout. These images will give us glimpses into the real-life experiences of our parents, grandparents and great grandparents, moments that shaped the world as it is today

Consider two recent examples of American justice. An op-ed that argues our justice system is punishes poor blacks much more severely than wealthy whites.

We make much of bad test results and idiotic answers to civics questions from the young Americans Jay Leno stops on Los Angeles street corners. It's fun, but it is also misleading. We are promoting what Paxton calls "the false notion that the biggest problem facing history students today involves the retention of decontextualized historical facts." He and Wineburg, both education professors, say we should decide what history is worth knowing and teach it well. "The thousand-page behemoths that we call textbooks violate every principle of human memory that we know of," Wineburg said
