| Summary: | The map consists of an oval world map around which winds an enormous snake with the head of Uncle Sam. The message is clear - the United States is poisoning the world with American culture. William F. Buckley describes the piece, "… surely the longest rattlesnake ever depicted. You can see his rattles way over there on the right of the right-hand page, just touching but being routed from, 'Arabia, Garden of Paradise'. The coils move throughout Europe, much of Africa, loop over the Arctic Circle to parts, note parts of Asia - Japan, the Philippines, Thailand, Australia, the mainland of Asia is free of the venomous, constricting coils. The serpent's body slithers East again, getting thicker and thicker as it approaches its head. Up through South and Central America, around Canada, and then the final monstrous coils, terminating in the vicious snarling face of Uncle Sam. (Nevada State Journal, Wednesday, August 17, 1966). |
