When I was a boy I had a stamp that showed Fidel Castro striding. It
was black and white. I thought it was an American stamp, but today
that seems very odd the Americans would be celebrating his revolution.
It came out about 1959. Does anyone know the stamp I am referring to?

"Plants" with "leaves" no more efficient than today's solar cells
could out-compete real plants, crowding the biosphere with an
inedible foliage. Tough omnivorous "bacteria" could out-compete
real bacteria: They could spread like blowing pollen, replicate
swiftly, and reduce the biosphere to dust in a matter of days.
Dangerous replicators could easily be too tough, small, and
rapidly spreading to stop -- at least if we make no preparation.
We have trouble enough controlling viruses and fruit flies.
