Stephen Rodefer used to say heād be a good Charles Olson in a biopic. It became a permanent association for me when I think of Gene Hackman, even more than The French Connection (my favorite film as a teenager).

The Sandford Police dog is named Saxon, played by a pooch called Sampson. He was once up for a job in the Police Force, but turned down for being too friendly.

BAAS remains absolutely committed to our principles of equality, diversity and inclusion, and we are not willing to compromise on these issues. As such, the Executive Committee agreed to cancel the grant with immediate effect. 4/7

As a child my father learned the old German script, Fraktur. Talk about a lost skill! He said it always gave him a leg up in archives.

I really don't know what to say anymore. When the stuff you read in history books that are categorically condemned start reappearing as proposed legislation, it's really damn bleak.

Can you imagine choosing that your role as a journalist in an ongoing genocide funded and armed by the U.S. and repeatedly supported by your own magazine is to try to increase the social costs on those who are trying to get the attention of the world to stop it? It's depraved.

Maybe? My memory is kind of shot these days. But a pleasure to read now for the first time again.

That was my very first thought! But it turns out NY School options greatly outnumber other possibilities (speaking strictly of individual volumes remaining in print), so I find myself generating alternative pairings. Am far from decided right now.

I was thinking of Frame Structures, actually, a companion to EoT. Feels somehow less like cheating as the books included were more fugitive.
