The balls of Texas are upon you. - a photo on Flickriver

            These are on loan from The New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art. 
These were once exhibited at the White House. Even though this picture is funny. I never forget  that this is the same tower which Charles  Whitman  killed 14 people and wounded 31 others as part of a shooting rampage on  August 1, 1966.
