There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Poor George learning how some women think, while in the process discovering the pros and cons of the self-insert.

"You overestimate my power of attraction," he told her. "No, I don't," she replied sharply, "and neither do you".

Huh?  Only a few years ago, some people asserted that oil would never go below $40/barrel, and gas under $2/gallon was a dream.  Well, at least we can safely say that oil prices will never go over $100/barrel again.

Uhmm ... not for while.

"Javert, though frightful, had nothing ignoble about him. Probity, sincerity, candor, conviction, the sense of duty, are things which may become hideous when wrongly directed; but which, even when hideous, remain grand."

Veit Bach-a baker who found his greatest pleasure in a little cittern which he took with him even into the mill and played while the grinding was going on. In this way he had a chance to have the rhythm drilled into him. And this was the beginning of a musical inclination in his descendants. JS Bach

Jean Shrimpton, Saul Leiter



That's a good photo and it's definitely by Leiter, but if the model credit is Jean Shrimpton then it's wrong. That looks like it's from the mid40s (to mid50s? - I don't know) and Shrimpton would only have been born in the early 40s.

e: Born: November 6, 1942 (age 73)

Ah. That's my mistake. It was just labeled 'Jean' and I remembered Shrimpton's name from some later Leiter works.

Jean with a cup, Leiter, 1948.
