No other person at the Algonquin Round Table loomed larger over the group than Robert E. Sherwood. When the group started meeting in June 1919, he was a Harvard graduate and combat veteran of World War I. Sherwood was a writer briefly on Vanity Fair, before moving to the original Life humor magazine. In his late twenties he got serious about writing plays. Sherwood went on to win four Pulitzers: three for Broadway dramas and one non-fiction award for a book about President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Sherwood was a longtime New Yorker who loved the theater and working with actors; but he was very political and that always showed in his work.

Over a thousand Chicagoans from all over the city, gathered at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by David Lang.
I just had to include this photo of Hollywood star, Rock Hudson. He was asked to weigh in on the debate over the Mini vs. the Midi skirt issue. Of the Midi he was quoted as saying "Yechh!"
Rather interesting in hindsight...

“G.E. engineers conducting a typical guided missile test firing at the Army’s Proving Ground, White Sands, New Mexico.” [Image caption]
“General Electric engineers and scientists are helping your Armed Forces to develop rocket leadership.
“Designing and testing such missiles is unbelievably complex. New metals for better rocket motors and better fuels for those motors are being perfected. Super-accurate instruments to steer the missile in flight are being designed. Miles of film must record all the test firings. These are jobs in which industry can, and does provide much help. G.E., for example, has been test firing rocket motors since 1945. . .
“In a short space of time, engineers have sent rockets to previously unattainable heights. Rockets in this country have flown to a height of 250 miles at a speed of over 5,000 miles per hour. . .” [From the ad copy]
Paperback. Rare! I was not able to locate another copy. 1062 pages. Though there is no publisher's date inside the book, it was published in 1920. There is an inscription inside the front cover on the first page dated 1926. Two publishers listed. London: Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co. Ltd. New York_Charles Scribner's Sons. This copy is printed in Great Britain. The pages contain some browning, indicative of a 92 year old book. The pages are almost completely separated from the spine between pages 30 and 31. There is some tearing of the front and back covers and both contain an emblem with scrolling ribbon which the owner wrote her name in, in pencil. The paper cover over the spine is missing. Considering its age, this book is in remarkable condition. All pages are intact. The book contains: Contents: Troilus and Cressida, Coriolanus, Titus Andronicus, Romeo and Juliet, Timon of Athens, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, King Lear, Othello, the Moor of Venice, Antony and Cleopatra, Cymbeline, Pericles.

W. Eugene Smith’s Landmark Photo Essay, ‘Nurse Midwife’
“In December 1951, LIFE published one of the most extraordinary photo essays ever to appear in the magazine. Across a dozen pages and featuring more than 20 of the great W. Eugene Smith’ pictures, the story of a tireless South Carolina nurse and midwife named Maude Callen opened a window on a world that, surely, countless LIFE readers had never seen — and, perhaps, had never even imagined. Working in the rural South in the 1950s, in “an area of some 400 square miles veined with muddy roads,” as LIFE put it, Callen served as “doctor, dietician, psychologist, bail-goer and friend” to thousands of poor (most of them desperately poor) patients — only two percent of whom were white.”

Original caption: Healthy twins, who were delivered a day apart last year by Maude, received a quick once-over when she stopped in to see them and pump herself a drink of water. Only about 2 percent of her patients were white.
