inches, text in Japanese and

A bilingual edition by poster
artist Akiyama, who created the
"Condom Boy" and"“AIDS virus
boy" characters as part of an
awareness campaign for AIDS
prevention. In the introduction,
Akiyama explains how he was
motivated to produce this campaign and the resulting book in
order to counter the frightening and panic-inducing images of AIDS in the media. The book features small
versions of colorful posters, each inspired by a single word (Man, woman, love, together, pleasure, etc) and also
provides a basic fact about AIDS. Each poster is also illustrated with a quotation from a philosopher, author, or
artist about the poster’s key word. The key words are given in 13 languages. Akiyama argues that with such basic
knowledge one can prevent AIDS while enjoying a healthy sex life.

Baker, a law student, won the election in what he hailed as a victory for

two men could not marry, and challenged the decision in the courts with the
result that they obtained the first known lawful same-sex marriage certificate
in the United States in 1971, the same
year as this election. Baker's campaign
featured several humorous posters.

inch poster printed both sides, front side has a photo from the play of a
nude woman in bed with the following text: Bedlam in the Playground:
Concurrent Theatre by James Broughton, directed by Kermit Sheets, at

commemorating this theatre location..." with cast list for the four short plays and production/playhouse staff.

chip at top edge, light soiling. (#165540) $75.00
No dates mentioned nor any address for the performance. Sheets was
artistic director at The Playhouse until 1965 and as this is a wake
commemorating the location it seems that this was a performance at that
location after the theatre had closed down. "Bedlam in the Playground"
was performed at SFSC in 1967 so it is likely this was a special one-off
performance of that production.
