Pictures for the Interview as of January 2013

These were selected by our team based on issues and events that we had discussed in detail and that we felt said a lot about the era and the themes of the course. Feel free to select your own events and issues. We often shrink these when photocopying but provide web access to the full size colour images. We now actually offer students the option to choose their own document from the course or one from the selection.
