Hey Jammer,

On the back cover of the first issue of Adbusters, published back in 1989, was a stern-looking Planet Earth pointing an accusing finger:

The Berlin Wall was about to fall.
Solidarity was in the air, and the environmental movement was driving it.
We’d seen the whole Earth from space and by God it looked vulnerable, hanging out there in the darkness.
