My mother would go to Saks Fifth Avenue in Chicago in the late 1940's each fall to order my snow suit, always getting the hood 1 size larger than the suit. This was a time when the salesladies knew all their regular customers, had been there forever, and wore white gloves. Finally one year when she presented her order of a size 6 blue snowsuit with a size 7 hood, the ladies pushed out one of their colleagues who inquired of Mum: "Mrs. Armour, would it be possible for us to see the child?"
"To say he was a man of contradictions would be an understatement. An outspoken anti-Zionist, Marv raised millions of dollars for Israeli War Bonds..."
I think you are quite correct about John Cage's reaction to an audience member screaming 'Bullshit'. I saw him perform a few times in the early 70s. He was charmed by most everything. Which I found very charming.
True that, Bruce! But given that they _did_, it does seem to make sense that he had a predilection for éclairs. The revolutionary struggle is rich in contradictions (and, in this case at least, calories)!

Labatut’s book was my absolute favorite book last year. Yes, it’s an intense reading, but simply fascinating.

It’s hard to imagine the PLP had a nutrition columnist....
