From the Mid-Week Pictorial: Marian Holmes knelt inside the glass of a 100,000-watt incandescent bulb to be exhibited by the Westinghouse Company at the World Fair in Chicago. She held a 60-watt bulb for comparison. The caption noted that the bulb “must be strong enough to withstand a crushing strain of 40,000 pounds.” Aug. 4, 1934. Photo: The New York Times
325 square feet on 2 floors. Love it.
I’m cool with Daffron, but which syllable gets the emphasis?
Very cool that YUAG is getting love from New York Times and the New Yorker, but no one is talking about my favorite painting in the collection. (Note the dimensions.)

In case you are shopping for me, I’d like the Round Lamp Table, the Arm Chair, and the Record Cabinet. Thanks!

Second best use of a treadmill in a music video. Also, second best use of a sweater in a song lyric.

Footnote 44 on page 925 of 92 Boston University Law Review reads, in its entirety: “Eggplants.”
The note is attached, of course, to the word “aubergines” in an article written by a British law professor. I imagine that there were some, perhaps strained, negotiations between the editors and the author, and the outcome seems to me a genial one.
