"The boxes were filled with hundreds of 35mm slides from the Dept of Defense [that] appear to be from the height of the Cold War... They are the perfect inverse of contemporary Pentagon graphic design in all its sprawling insanity, permanently poisoned by the vernacular of PowerPoint and clip art.”

You are a usually thoughtful journalist but you—& the CBC—cannot be a neutral / objective gatherer of reactions.
On this you must have a point of view. Journalism scholars call it “mature subjectivity,” a professional obligation.
