Weekend links: The birth of the Illuminati, dueling schoolboys, and the other Göring
- Haunting pictures await you in this history of the beginning of the Illuminati conspiracy.
- We’re used to the tragedy of school violence, but a traditional duel seems bizarre. Yet in 1874, it happened.
- You probably already know about Hermann Göring. But what do you know about his brother’s stand against the Nazis?
- This list is too gloomy, isn’t it? Cheer yourself up by gawking at (and geeking out over) this album of
original Star Wars concept art. - Finish off your weekend reading with something light. We wrote a history of the fedora that will change the way you see the famous hat forever.
