Nikolai Lutohin
Nikolai Lutohin (1932 - 2000) was born in Yugoslavia as the son of Russian parents. Already as a five year old boy he wanted to be a graphic designer and was interested in Flash Gordon comic books and other sci-fi heroes. He went to Hungary to study at the Art Academy in Budapest and then lived for twenty years in Moscow, where he illustrated popular science books, children's books and classics.
His inspiration came from the works of El Greco, Goya, Dali and Hieronymus Bosch. In 1975, he moved to Germany and settled in Munich. Kurt Bernhardt hired him for Pabel Publishers, where he primarily illustrated fantasy, horror and Sci Fi series such as "Terra Fantasy," "Mythor," "Demon Killer," "Sun Koh," and "Utopia Classics". During his last years Nikolai Lutohin worked for the fantasy series of the Bastei Publishing House including "ghost hunter John Sinclair," "Professor Zamorra" and "Demon-land".

The Garden of Allah
The Garden of Allah
The Garden of Allah was a famous hotel in West Hollywood, California, at 8152 Sunset Boulevard at the east end of the Sunset Strip. Originally a 2.5-acre estate called Hayvenhurst, it was built in 1913 as the private residence of real estate developer William H. Hay.
The Garden of Allah Hotel was once Hollywood's most famous (perhaps infamous) hotel during the 1930s - 40s. In 1918, Nazimova, a successful silent film actress who co-starred opposite Rudolph Valentino in “Camille”, bought an 8 room Spanish-style mansion on the southwest corner of Sunset and Crescent Heights Blvds. The building was surrounded by 3 1/2 acres of lush tropical plants and fruit trees.
At the urging of her manager, she decided to turn her estate into a hotel. After months of construction building 25 villas, Miss Nazimova's Garden of Allah Hotel opened on January 9, 1927, with an 18 hour party. Some of Nazimova's early guests included Hollywood's royal couple, Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, as well as stars Rudolph Valentino, Charlie Chaplin, and Tom Mix. Two years after she opened, the Depression hit and Nazimova lost the hotel, but managed to hold on to an apartment for herself, where she lived until her death in 1945.

Kashmir Princess
On 11 April 1955 an Air India Constellation passenger airliner, the “Kashmir Princess,” flight 300 from Hong Kong to Djakarta, was sabotaged. It was chartered by the People's Republic of China (PRC) to take its delegation headed by Premier Zhou Enlai to attend the Bandung Conference in Indonesia. On the way to Djakarta with a Chinese delegation aboard there was an explosion, which caused the aircraft to crash into the sea. All eleven passengers were killed and only three members of the crew survived; Zhou was not amongst the victims.

The Bandung Conference
The first large-scale Asian–African or Afro–Asian Conference also known as the Bandung Conference—was a meeting of Asian and African states, most of which were newly independent, which took place on 18–24 April 1955 in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. The conference was an important step towards the eventual creation of the Non-Aligned Movement
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandung_Conference
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Non-Aligned Movement
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) is a forum of 120 countries that are not formally aligned with or against any major power bloc. After the United Nations, it is the largest grouping of states worldwide.
The movement originated in the aftermath of the Korean War, as an effort by some countries to counterbalance the rapid bi-polarization of the world during the Cold War, whereby two major powers formed blocs and embarked on a policy to pull the rest of the world into their orbits. One of these was the pro-Soviet, communist bloc whose best known alliance was the Warsaw Pact, and the other the pro-American capitalist group of countries many of which belonged to NATO.
In 1961, drawing on the principles agreed at the Bandung Conference of 1955, the Non-Aligned Movement was formally established in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, through an initiative of Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito, Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, Ghanaian President Kwame Nkrumah, and Indonesian President Sukarno.

“Wave Speech” by Hunter S. Thompson
“It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era — the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning...
And that, I think, was the handle — that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply PREVAIL. There was no point in fighting — on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark — that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
