Love looking at old LIFE magazines. I’m not sure what to make of the cover girl, but I’m particularly intrigued by the headline up top: “Men At Most Primitive” is certainly not a 21st-century way to say, “White dudes intruded upon previously undisturbed, self-sufficient aboriginals.”

We were all young once. Baseball’s newest Hall of Famer, Barry Larkin, when he was roughly 21 and playing at Michigan. I was 1 year old, maybe 2.
