Marilyn Nixon
In the latter half of the twentieth century American politics
and pop culture bred some very strange bed-fellows. In 1995 the United
States Postal Orifice issued, almost simultaneously, commemorative stamps
for both Richard Nixon and Marilyn Monroe.
In a patriotic attempt to infuse into the troubled legacy
of our thirty-seventh president the unimpeachable popularity of Hollywood,
I've mounted Nixon's head on Monroe's shoulders. I wonder if the Brothers
Kennedy ever considered doing that. |
