Family-ar Brew: In a White Cup with Black Coffee, Sons Shine of Their Love

Latest "Great Minds" Google deflation of my presumed originality, as I thought, What if Eric Clapton had left Cream? Would Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce restyle as ... "Half and Half?"

Bon of   the Vanity Fair s Below, 63 pieces of candy from  Cond é  (Nast)  c. 1914-1936, largely  Vanity  Fair  covers with a few early  Vogue  and  House and Garden  numbers as well.  The lush hermetic aestheticism of the 1910s, in all its ritual harlequinade, peacockery, stained-glass Tiffany washes of chromatic incandescence, sinuous Art Nouveau curves, flourishes of  Japoniste  exotica, and cameos out of C18 France, gave way over the postwar years to ongoing eruptions into the garden party of the social and artistic earthquakes and flashes of heat lightning outside, in the forms of boxy geometric modernism, burly big-shouldered industrialism, social satire and, into the 1930s, the lengthening shadows of Depression, the multiple risings of Eurasian fascism, and prophetic glimpses of the total-war reprise of 1914-1918 to come three years after the 1936 folding of  Vanity  Fair .

"'We're going to come after you,' he continued, 'whether it's criminally or civilly. We'll figure that out.'" https://www.nytimes.com/live/ 2024/11/26/opinion/thepoint/ patel-trump-fbi-loyalty?smid= url-share Announcer: Hello, and welcome to this week's episode of "Ol' Jeez an' New Deez," a lighthearted interfaith interface that attempts to discern the ways, if any, in which those claiming to be disciples of our co-host - Jeez, not De...

Hurrah for the CIA

The Editor of this blog thanks The Editor of The Times Literary Supplement for publishing, in that paper's issue for May 8, 2020, his letter addressing topics that have him much engaged these last forty-five years . Hurrah for the CIA I have long been at one with the efforts of J.C. (NB, April 24) to rescue Encounter from its reputation among the bien-pensants as little more than a propaganda front for the CIA – the source, over its first decade, of secret funding, which came via private foundations and thence Encounter ’s publisher, the Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF).
