The Radicalesbians' 1970 manifesto redefined lesbianism not as a sexual orientation but as the political act of centering women — making any heterosexual feminist's loyalty suspect. It circulated as a single mimeographed sheet at the Second Congress to Unite Women.

Hajduks were hunted outlaws turned folk saints — men who fled Ottoman tax collectors into the mountains and were later immortalized in epic verse. The same raid that burned a village made a ballad by spring.

Robert Clive bribed Mir Jafar — commander of the opposing army — before a single shot was fired. The battle lasted three hours; the subcontinent's fate was sealed in a monsoon-soaked mango grove in 1757.

Albert Fish mailed Grace Budd's mother a letter explaining, in clinical detail, how he butchered and ate her ten-year-old daughter over nine days in 1928. He was 58 when he abducted her; he called human buttocks 'the best part.'
