A Cold War catalog

Nostalgic for the Cold War? Wistful for the days when G-men chased reds across America and the Kremlin pointed missiles at U.S. cities? Well, pine no longer! The fact is, the Cold War didn’t disappear -- it just went on sale. Here’s some memorabilia of that “less complex” time, when freeze-dried food would keep you happy in your bunker and ducking and covering was all the defense you needed against the H-bomb. (Current, of course, can’t vouch for the authenticity or availability of the merchandise, which was for sale online last week.)
