    "In Ludlow, Colorado, sent a train-load of Pinkerton men to kill the striking miners. Mr. Rockefeller did it. The Ludlow Massacre may be considered as a cause, a source of phenomena even today. But Rockefeller had nothing to do with building the Cathedral of St. John. He built Riverside Church a few blocks away from the cathedral. Of course, the National Council of Churches established its headquarters next door. Artist’s note: I left those bubbles in the paper so that you would know I’m not trying to trick you, like many of the artists do. But don’t worry: it’s completely preserved"
