An advertising agency in Florida, owned by latinos, came up with the “Gringo Mask” that allows anyone to look like they “belong” in America: © Cristobal Herrera/Sun Sentinel Unfortunately, their little joke must have pissed off some people, because they took it down from the website.

How many nuclear weapons do we need?

Two military professors have written an interesting piece in the NY Times. They have come up with a plausible answer to the question “how many nuclear weapons do we need to assure our national security”.
