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...

Notes
•Caption label from exhibit "Monstrous Craws...": The jaunty spirit of the Jazz Age came to life in the work of influential illustrator John Held, Jr. (1889-1958). During the 1920s, his colorful portrayals of flippant "flapper" girls and jaunty "Joe College" boys appeared in such magazines as Judge, The New Yorker, College Humor, Harper's Bazaar. His designs, such as this magazine cover depicting a coolly coquettish girl and a gawky, grinning guy, helped delineate a carefree, confident image of American society. Held also wrote and illustrated numerous books, designed costumes and sets for musical reviews, and created comic strips including Oh! Margy (later Merely Margy), Joe Prep, and Rah Rah Rosalie. Examples of his graphic work form part of the Library's Cabinet of American Illustration, a national collection of original drawings by generations of leading artists, illustrators, and cartoonists.

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.

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.

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.”
“Nurse Midwife” as it appeared in the Dec. 3, 1951, issue of LIFE magazine.

Recently world renowned Artist Dr. J Eugene Grigsby requested to personally view my fine-art exhibit entitled "Everyone Could Use A HERO showing at the Central Art Gallery inside the Phoenix Public Library, but there was only one small problem. Dr. Grigsby is confined to a wheelchair and could not get over to view my exhibit. So what did I do...??? I brought the exhibit over to Dr. Grigsby's art studio home so that he could view the exhibit. He loved it!!! Now let me explain the history about this incredible creative and talented individual. He is a World War II Veteran who never received his medals (my staff and I are currently heading a campaign to Washington to get this man what he so rightly deserves)...; he also stood alongside the original Tuskegee Airmen (as he was friends with a good many of them), he is 94yrs young and will hold a conversation that would rival any orator walking today!!! He is THAT sharp!!! I could mention so much more about this perfect example of what a human being should be and act like; but I'm afraid that I would be biased. Truthful, but yet biased. Peace, dear Dr. Grigsby. My words alone can not express... *T.M.NOEL/ ANGRYHOUZE, inc.
