I explained that most of our coverage is about business/advertising signs. Undaunted, Bill conducted exhaustive research and found the answers. Aside from primarily serving as an excellent recall of Cold Wa-era sentiments, it also indrectly shows the lasting power that logos and signs can have. Here's the link to the full article, which includes 19 images. http://knol.google.com/k/bill-geerhart/an-indelible-cold-war-symbol/1uefuvb7s5ifz/12
