Its translucent color so alluring and taste and aroma so gentle and mellow offer admiring feelings of a graceful lady. Enjoy soft and juicy Kasugai Muscat Gummy.

The Americans by Robert Frank. A stark amazing bleak and beautiful photographic journey through the heart of post WWII America. Weird to see in Vanity Fair of all places this article by Charlie LeDuff about the 83yr old Frank traveling to China for the Pingyao International Photography Festival.

Great things sometimes come from rewriting under pressure.
What a great first line for a book! So starts Lynn Hunt in Inventing Human Rights, (Norton, 2007).

If your birthday is today...you may or may not think of yourself as an ideas person but your brain will be bulging with brilliant insights over the coming 12 months, Don't keep them to yourself: broadcast them far and wide; make sure everyone knows what a genius you are. False modesty is not your style.
Thanks Sally Brompton of G&M

Quote of the Week
Iraq is to moviegoers what garlic to vampires. Thanks, Frank Rich in today’s Sunday New York Times, in commenting on the weird dissonance of watching the new film by Errol Morris, Standard Operating Procedure, about the Abu Ghraib photos, in the swank of MOMA.
