Ellsworth Kelley, Bill Blass, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. and a host of lesser known but equally talented
painters, designers,
sound engineers and actors served together during World War II in the
Ghost Army – the 23rd Headquarters Special Troops, a unit whose existence remained an
official secret until 1996.
German soldiers referred to them as the "Phantom Army," because one moment they were in one place, and the next, they were attacking their flanks or from the rear. Together, they made rubber tanks and fake Jeeps; their
changing unit insignia were designed to fool spies and allied units alike. They recorded the sounds of Allied units building bridges or moving troops and broadcast them from special
sound trucks, leading the Germans to conclude that the U.S. Army had more troops in more places than it did. "
Guys drew, or painted, all the time," documenting their lives, the lives of their fellow soldiers, and that of the local populations in wartime Europe.

I am an American citizen. If I want to travel to Vietnam, all I need is a valid passport and visa; if I want to travel to Cuba, I either have to sign up for a special tour, be part of some pre-approved humanitarian/scientific/educational group, or be willing to break U.S. law.
I know that there are extralegal ways for U.S-ians to travel to Cuba; this is not my main question.

You’d need years to
really study these
murals of Califonia’s history -
the artist certainly had a lot a free time to create them. You'd probably also need a special invitation to engage in a multi-year study in the
gallery - and you probably don't want one.

We have tickets to a sporting event. It's a big-deal, nationally televised sort of thing. We'd like to re-sell these tickets for more than we paid, and need some advice.
